What is Russian Symphony about?

The protagonist finds out that some children were left behind in a sinking school, and is slowly driven mad as he tries to save them. A parable on the theme of the Last Judgment, numerous catastrophic events reveal a certain ambiguity in their origins, accompanied by the terrible suspicion that the things going on are some kind of a performance or theatrical production.

Russian Symphony is a 1994 Russian psychological drama film directed by Konstantin Lopushansky and starring Viktor Mikhaylov. The narrative is set in a dark version of contemporary Russia, where the world appears to be coming to an end through a flood. A man is desperate to do something good with his life before it ends, but is mostly met with suspicion.
