Manzev's house
“Manzeva House” presents a rather unsettling world: a busy woman acquires an apartment as part of a deal she has not even seen beforehand. As she moves in, she gradually realizes that she is not the one setting the rules of life in this house. Manzeva House functions as a complex microcosm, drawing the lives of its residents into its both beautiful and terrifying reality.”
Anda Buševica, Latvian Radio Culture Journalist

“With the story ‘Manzeva’s House’, I would go straight to Aik Karapetyan and say: ‘Anyway, I apologize, but you should think about turning this into a film. I can’t, but you could, it’s such a wonderfully creepy piece.’ Really, I was in that house, I saw it all, I felt it, and I still can’t let go.”
Dace Vīgante, Writer
“If hell exists, then on its door is written: Fear, Shame, and Guilt. To escape, one must reach the zero point.”
