Then one day, Egor, returning home, finds no trace of either the nanny or the little sister, and the parents are in a strange trance and do not even remember that they had a daughter.

Some of the ideas un the film are really good but there are not many situations where they are well performed. It falls into a lot of some of our most 'loved' clichés like: the chosen one, the girl who is different and can take care of herself, the bully becomes friend and so on, there was a point un the movie when I was already wondering what the next cliché to appear would be. The movie actually looks quite well, it has some great shots and frames that were really well done, some scenes really are disturbing in the middle of this inconsistent story and I think they really can save this film, at least a little. The characters were, in my opinion, so annoying and dislikeable because of how cartoonish and unreal they can be, from the start of the movie I hated our 'hero' from almost the start until the very last second, no matter how much the movie tries to make me believe he has grown or something, he is just the same plain and maleable to conveniente character he was from the start.
