A surreal, darkly comic fantasy that weaves supernatural chaos through 1930s Soviet Moscow to interrogate power, art, and moral corruption.

A struggling writer in 1930s Soviet Moscow finds his life transformed when a mysterious professor arrives with his bizarre entourage, including a wisecracking trickster, a deadly assassin, a vampire maid, and a giant talking black cat, turning the city upside down while exposing the hypocrisy of those in power.
