NOTES
This is a crime / mystery thriller with surreal and psychedelic science fiction overtones based on a book Inspector Glebsky's Puzzle by the Strugatsky brothers. The screenplay was also written by the brothers and it differs from the book. The less you know about the movie the better starting point you have. The film is based largely on the mystery of what's happening to the people of Dead Mountaineer's Hotel. Is everything what it seems? Who's dead or who's not?。父亲宋清辉在工地上发生意外死亡后,母亲林彩秀受不了刺激,患上了精神疾病,发病时忘了关燃气导致宋家大火,殃及邻居家,邻居家要求宋沅赔款三百万。面对高额的医药费和巨额债务,宋沅走投无路。
