A disfigured teen plots murder from a hospital bed — but her weapon is found family, not vengeance.
Season 1 • Episode 8
LatestBecause of the bandaged face in the children's ward, her name is Mummy. In two months, the disfigured Anya had to grow up seriously. Before the accident, she was a beautiful, confident schoolgirl. After that, she is a closed, cynical creature, ready to attack even those who try to help her. Every day, Anya is looking for new reasons to move on and new tricks to stay in the hospital. After all, she recently had a goal — to kill the comatose culprit of the very accident in which her parents died. To fulfill her plan, Anya gathers a team of unsuccessful patients, but in the process of preparation realizes that revenge is not a cure.
Acting
Varvara Volodina's face is 90% bandages, 100% devastating.
Direction
Igumentseva balances cruelty and tenderness like a knife on a wire.
Writing
The comatose villain who never speaks is somehow the most complex character.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Russian medical dramas rarely blend this tone—Igumentseva cited early Taika Waititi and Aleksei German as influences, creating a uniquely post-Soviet tragicomedy.
The comatose actor performed entirely through breathing patterns and finger twitches over 6 months of filming, with Igumentseva directing him via whispered instructions.
