Sleepwalkers

Sleepwalkers (Lunatiki, 2023) is a Russian psychological drama you can watch online on iFILM. A popular rapper, Nikita Prozorov, vanishes from an apartment in central Moscow, and at first it all looks like the high-profile kidnapping of a celebrity.

Investigator Ivanov soon realizes the disappearance was staged — and that the trail runs straight to the musician's mother, TV producer Renata. Nikita was carried unconscious into a clinic, where doctors run an experimental computer treatment meant to rewrite his personality. To grasp what drove Renata, Ivanov has to reassemble the painful history between mother and son piece by piece and decide whether she was destroying her child or trying to save him. Stepan Belozyorov and Viktoriya Isakova lead director Yuri Moroz's cast. An unsparing, 18+ film for viewers ready to sit with a story about parental love that shades into control and harm.
