Plot synopsis
There is a state of emergency in Moscow. The voice from loudspeakers is giving various official but meaningless orders to residents. There is no definite information about what exactly is occurring. A lonely man in his thirties loses his dog and this makes him venture out to figure out what is happening. He explores the city and finds a place where reality splits in two and it forces the events of the film to be repeated from the very beginning.
 

Commentaries
Александра Карелина и Эмиль Хафизов : "Ослепите меня, пожалуйста" [Alexandra Karelina et Emil Khafizov : aveugle moi s'il te plait], Aleksandra KARELINA, Emile KHAFIZOV, Алексей АРТАМОНОВ, Диана АБУ ЮСЕФ, Interview, kinoart.ru, 2023
 
The film 'Dva' is the poetical reflection on modern Russian reality which is the mix of absurd political decisions and prohibitions, escapism and violence. The film describes the invisible boundary between two states: the premonition of the disaster and the living in it. During the inexplicable state of emergency in Moscow, a lonely young man is trying to find his missing dog and to figure out what is truly going on. Eventually he finds himself in a parallel world where the word "death" is strictly prohibited. (IMDB)
