Logline: Young painter Viktor leaves his family farm to pay off their debts, but in the city he gets addicted to the imaginary utopic world of his mentor, Armand.
Synopsis: Young painter VIKTOR leaves the family farm to pursue a painting career in the city. Viktor believes that his visions of a “higher realm” will bring him a lot of money and success in the big city. He promises his father to send money and help with their debts. Father is not happy with this, but he lets Viktor try his luck.
In the city, Viktor visits the exhibition of the established painter ARMAND. Viktor reveals “his visions” to Armand, who teaches him about different layers of the world. One of which is the “higher realm” – a better world that Armand is building, which can be accessed through imagination. Viktor learns how to enter it through paintings. In exchange, Viktor paints a “higher realm” for Armand.
As a result, Viktor gets addicted to entertainment in both the real world and the “higher realm”, until he discovers that the “higher realm” is an illusion. Behind the façade, the “higher realm” is a dark industrial prison. Armand traps people and uses their imagination to create the illusion of a “higher realm”. In one of Armand’s paintings, Viktor finds DAEMON, who is Armand’s hiding conscience. Daemon reveals to Viktor that Armand wants to control the whole world through his “fake realm”. True “higher realm” can only be reached if you defeat your inner demons and Armand failed at that. Viktor lures Armand to Daemon and together they defeat him. Viktor gives his life energy to prisoners, waking them from a coma and becoming older in the process. Armand’s “realm” turns to ashes.
Viktor returns to normal life and proceeds to sell all the expensive things that he has previously bought – he sends money to his father. Viktor goes to the orphanage and offers his service as a painter, which he previously declined. When Viktor paints for the orphanage, he closes his eyes and sees the door opening to his own “personal realm”. Viktor enters his “personal realm” and finds himself in the vast desert. Viktor proceeds forward to explore his “personal realm” to someday gain access to the “true higher realm”.
