Short description
Set in the past, this horror film follows a mysterious stranger who arrives at a tavern carrying an unusual barrel organ. He performs music for the beggars gathered inside, but the performance takes on a frightening and unsettling quality.
Written and directed by Philipp Yuryev, this project followed his 2020 film The Whaler Boy. Produced by Anna Bokina and Zebra Hero in Russia, the short film has a runtime of 19 minutes. The cast features Husky in the role of the deaf man and Anton Adasinsky as the organ grinder, supported by a credited crew of 40 people.
