What happens

Stone (Russian: Камень, romanized: Kamen) is a 2012 Russian crime thriller film directed by Vyacheslav Kaminsky (In English-speaking countries it was released as Orphan). It is based on the 2009 novel Do not live (Russian: Не жить, romanized: Ne zhit) by Yurii Brigadir.

The film was released on DVD on February 16, 2012. When a well-known businessman's 7-year-old son is kidnapped, it turns out that the mysterious kidnapper does not need any ransom, and his demand to the father is to commit suicide.
