Description
Viktor, a struggling writer navigating the melancholic streets of Kyiv, finds solace in the company of his unconventional pet, a penguin named Misha. Together, they create an unusual duo, sharing the quiet moments of life amidst a city steeped in uncertainty. Viktor's aspirations take a strange turn when he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a series of mysterious deaths that begin to plague the city. Rather than shying away from the chaos, he starts to draw inspiration from the peculiar circumstances, intertwining his reality with his imaginative pursuits.
As Viktor grapples with the darker side of life, his bond with Misha deepens, offering both companionship and a fresh perspective on human nature. The surreal blend of absurdity and poignancy unfurls as Viktor's world spirals into an unexpected labyrinth of intrigue and existential reflection, illuminating the profound connections that can arise even in the midst of despair. In the shadows of mortality, Viktor learns that life’s absurdity can often birth unexpected creativity.
