"Story-ta" was conceived as a short film, but will be released as a feature together with another Film Academy for Talents production and could debut in cinemas across the country in late autumn 2023.
The story follows 12 teenagers who, together with a little 6-year-old girl, wake up in an unfamiliar space, not knowing how they got there or whether they will ever be able to leave. None of them knows any of the others, setting the stage for panic, falling in love, arguments and fights.

"Originally, the film had a different title. It is set in a dark, unfamiliar place with no way out, about which nobody knows anything," says Natalia Dukova, the film’s director and screenwriter.
The film provided roles for more than 20 Film Academy for Talents students of various ages, from 5 to 50. This is a huge step for each of them, because appearing in a leading or small role in a feature film makes each performer’s portfolio particularly interesting to directors and producers, and so "the wheels are set in motion".
