Roshtalivik follows a young web designer whose ordinary life is abruptly disrupted when he becomes the target of a scientist conducting an unconventional and increasingly invasive experiment. What begins as an unexplained intrusion into his life quickly escalates into a sustained loss of control, as he is drawn into a system where his identity, choices, and perception of reality are gradually manipulated.
As the experiment intensifies, Roshtalivik is forced to navigate a shifting environment where trust becomes unreliable, and the boundaries between voluntary action and external influence begin to disappear. The film tracks his psychological and emotional unraveling as he struggles to understand the purpose of the experiment and whether escape is even possible.
Set within a contained, character-focused narrative, the story emphasizes the experience of losing autonomy rather than external spectacle. It builds tension through uncertainty, controlled information, and the steady erosion of certainty about what is real, who is in control, and what remains of the protagonist’s identity.
