“The night of the man who chewed asphalt.”
ThrillerCrimeDrama
Moth is freed on parole after spending time in prison on wrongful conviction of murder. Jailed shortly before the Bulgarian communist coup of 1944, he now finds himself in a new and alien world - the totalitarian Sofia of the 60s. His first night of freedom draws the map of a diabolical city full of decaying neighborhoods, gloomy streets and a bizarre parade of characters.
VIBE
A grim, atmospheric dive into a suffocating post-war reality. It feels like wandering through a decaying dreamscape, where every shadow hides a threat and hope is a distant memory. The city itself is a character, as oppressive as the regime.
