Then Zgolich stole the working material with the intention of finishing the film himself,[5] for which a criminal case was opened against him for theft on an especially large scale. The trial began. After serving a year in a pretrial detention center, the director was declared insane and transferred to the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Mental Health for compulsory treatment.
