Diagnosis: Dissent

Director:
Denis Tarasov

Andrii finds out a horrible truth, that has been hidden in USSR for years - most of those accused of "anti-Soviet propaganda" were never sent to prison, but to special psychiatric hospitals with a diagnosis of "slow progressive schizophrenia". Andrii finds himself in a real hell of punitive psychiatry and faces a difficult choice - to cooperate with the KGB and return to his family, or to reveal the truth about dissidents tortured in such psychiatric hospitals.
