Have you think about death?

The project is based on five Aleksandr Pushkin's fairy tales, one of which will be adapted into two episodes. Classical texts will retain their idea, but will be filled with completely new, relevant and sometimes unexpected meaning. In each series, the action of the tales of the great writer is transferred to our reality. The familiar Pushkin images will become even clearer: Tsarevna will be an instablogger, Elisey will be a rapper, and the Golden Cockerel will be a neural network.

Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter.
Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before ...
