What begins as a story of murder becomes a journey toward the revival of the lost soul. Crime and Punishment is a feature-length animated adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s iconic novel - one of the most profound works in world literature. This timeless plot is reimagined in a new format that stays true to the original’s philosophical depth while making it closer to modern audience. Visually striking and emotionally resonant, the film captures both the haunting atmosphere of 19th-century St. Petersburg and the intense inner conflict of its protagonist. The story centers on Rodion Raskolnikov, a poor and fiercely proud student, trapped in poverty and despair. Obsessed with the idea of being an “extraordinary man”, he commits a murder to prove his theory. But soon he finds himself drawn into a relentless psychological struggle. Guilt, fear, and inner suffering become his true and most devastating punishment - yet through this inner trial, Raskolnikov begins his journey toward redemption and spiritual rebirth.
