Khlyst

Siberia, 1918. Amidst the chaos of the Russian Civil War, a monk flees through frozen wastelands, dragging a black chest on a sled. He is hunted by a Bolshevik commander who burns down the sanctuary left behind. When the hunter finally corners his prey in an abandoned hut, the chest is opened to reveal a mysterious, tattooed child. In a moment of terrifying enlightenment, the boundary between enemy and acolyte dissolves. KHLYST is an AI-generated vision that blurs the line between salvation and damnation.
