Marina, a child psychologist from the new Russian upper class, is in her midlife crisis. After having been raped by policemen in Moscow, she seeks revenge. She is aware, that the legal way would get her nowhere, so she starts searching for the rapists herself. When she finally finds one of them, she goes for beating him with her own weapons as psychologist – and a wicked game begins.

The award-winning psychodrama is an impressive parable on a corrupted society. Brilliant lead actress Olga Dikhovichnaya also wrote the screenplay and produced the film together with the director.

"Outstanding, but sure to challenge auds wherever it goes due to its provocative subject matter, TWILIGHT PORTRAIT is a chilling, highly impressive feature debut" (Variety)
