Samsara

On the night of his thirty‑fifth birthday, Andrey’s life quietly breaks: the next morning, he discovers that time for him has reversed its course, and each "new" day is, in fact, the day before. To escape this backwards current and return to the natural flow of life, he must set right the mistakes of his past — a mission he initially rejects, convinced he has nothing to repent.

There is another catch: Andrey remembers his own history only in fragments, clearly recalling just the birthday and the faces of those who congratulated him — friends, colleagues, lovers, relatives — while everything else fades into haze. As he seeks them out one by one, the flattering image he held of himself begins to crumble: he learns how carelessly he wounded others, how empty his relationships were, and, above all, that he has never truly loved anyone. To break free from the reverse march of days, Andrey must be reborn — rethink his life, learn to see people as more than extras in his story, and, for the first time, find a love that moves time forward instead of dragging it back.
