Missing: oscars win
Captain Fyodor Volkonogov, a well-respected and obedient USSR law enforcer, witnesses his peers being suspiciously questioned. Sensing his turn is approaching, he escapes and is soon on the run, hunted by his former colleagues. Vulnerable and hopeless, Fyodor comes to realize what he had been part of, and that repentance is the only way for him to escape the eternal torment of Hell. But time is running out and the manhunt is closing in on him... A bleak yet delightful parable alluding to the existentialist tragedies (and redemptions) of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the absurdism of Nikolai Gogol, and the proto-magical realism of Mikhail Bulgakov.
