Adapted from the epic novel by Feodor Dostoyevsky, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT focuses on the plight of a intellectual young man whose moral struggle with his belief system compels him to commit a horrendous crime. A psychological game of cat and mouse ensues with the investigator who hunts him down. Dreams, waking visions, even ghosts paint this psychological portrait of crime, guilt and retribution.
