Truth is Good, But Happiness is Better

The film is based on the history of the Bulgakov play on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater

The black room. Enclosed space. The action unfolds as if slowly. You understand that every word, every gesture of the heroes have a special, secret, as yet absolutely incomprehensible meaning. But you feel: you can't miss a single nuance. There are two or three heroes in each novel. There is a real drama between them, which ends with an explosion. Sometimes figuratively, and sometimes literally. Time is continuous: there is no yesterday and tomorrow.

Based on the eponymous short story by A.S. Pushkin, performed by the "Monplaisir" Theatre (St. Petersburg).
