Toska is a dissection of grief, society's fracture, and the echoes of a catastrophic financial debacle that tore through the lives of the vulnerable. In the shadow of a monumental economic fraud that drained communities of their life savings, a young man is left to contend with the lifeless shell of his elder brother, who lies brain-dead, a mute testament to the destruction wrought by greed and deception.

The younger brother, lost in a state of deep confusion, lingers in the decaying remnants of a once-stable life. His mind, a canvas of fragmented thoughts and stark truths, is a battleground where personal anguish intersects with the broader collapse of trust in societal institutions. As he stands vigil over his brother's body, he is both observer and participant in an unraveling world where narratives of divinity and damnation are woven into the fabric of his reality.

The film unfolds as a forensic exploration of a mind trapped between the ruins of collective disillusionment and the haunting myths that offer both refuge and peril. The younger brother's internal journey is mirrored by the collapse around him, each scene a tableau of stark contrasts-order and chaos, faith and betrayal, reality and delusion.

Through a deviant lens, Toska examines the residual trauma left in the wake of the financial disaster, the intricate power dynamics at play, and the societal decay that ensues when trust is systematically eroded. Yet, beneath the film's clinical surface lies a deep well of philosophical inquiry, as it probes the existential vacuum left by the disintegration of the familiar.

Toska is an avant-garde investigation, both a political autopsy and a surreal odyssey, where the personal becomes universal, and the past is forever etched into the crumbling walls of a world on the brink of collapse.
