Storyline
"IDOL" is a confessional piece by underground artist AQUAKEY. Set in the near future, the story follows Gleb Bykhovtsev—a rising star in the entertainment industry signed to a major label. Weary of relentless commercialism and censorship, Gleb disrupts the "Artist of the Year" awards ceremony where he was a nominee, triggering a downward spiral in his life. "IDOL" is a story about a life one would never wish to live. A non-linear narrative interweaves two parallel versions of Gleb’s existence: his dream—fantasies of the future—and his reality—memories of a sober past. Or is it the other way around? An independent, non-commercial, and genuinely raw, provocative auteur film by debut director Egor Kudinov.
