Overview

The year 1829. Nikolay Gogol, a young Third Section clerk, is desperate: his own books seem shallow and mediocre, so he keeps buying entire print runs just to burn them all. He is suffering from violent epileptic seizures and struggles to keep on working. Investigator Yakov Guro accidentally witnesses one such fit and realizes that Gogol's visions contain clues that could help solve actual crimes. Together, Gogol and Guro take on a particularly weird and baffling case that brings them to a small village of Dikanka, where everyone has a huge secret to hide.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dark, atmospheric mystery that fuses the biographical torment of a troubled writer with supernatural crime-solving, steeped in 19th century Russian gloom and Gothic unease. The series treats Gogol's epileptic visions as portals to something stranger and more sinister than mere illness.
