Inheritance
Katya and Anton are a young couple. They just recently moved into their own flat, inherited from Anton’s grandfather. They are madly in love and make plans for the future. But one day everything changes. Katya begins to doubt her feelings and their relationship begins to deteriorate. One day, Katya and Anton rip off the old wallpaper and notice a small crack in the wall. The more their relationship breaks down, the bigger this crack becomes, gradually turning into a huge hole. But the strangest thing is that there is nothing at all behind the hole itself – only a dark emptiness, from which a strange grinding can be heard from time to time. Pure evil is lurking in this void and it is about to break out.
