A Murky Fate is a short film adapted from a story by Russian author Lyudmila Petrushevskaya, to be shot on location in Europe. Narrated like a dark fairy tale, it follows an unmarried woman in her thirties who orchestrates a single night with the man she thinks she loves, oblivious to the fact that he is entirely unworthy of her devotion. The film will be submitted to short film festivals internationally upon completion.
