Episode synopsis
Filming is underway inside the grand halls of the Gatchina Palace. The production: a new feature film titled The Emperor’s Ghost. But in the middle of an ordinary shooting day, someone—or something—appears on set, right in front of the camera. At first, everyone assumes he’s an actor. But it soon becomes clear that this visitor has nothing to do with the film... or with the real world. Even the camera can't capture his image—the film comes out blank.
About Kontora
They were once just ordinary people. He was a local police inspector, and she was a journalist writing about all things unusual. But ever since they became agents of a top-secret agency dealing with anomalous phenomena, their lives seemed to shift into another world. Their only connection to the normal world was through the Courier, while their assignments came from the Curator—who also received their reports. In the past, the Agency had many employees. Everyone felt the importance and uniqueness of the missions they carried out. But after a time of upheaval—when funding dried up and the future became uncertain—only four people remained from the original team. Yet neither the budget nor the headcount can influence the unknown forces that give rise to anomalies. These factors only determine the risk and burden placed on the agents who continue doing everything they can to keep anomalous phenomena from disrupting everyday life.
