Overview
A fantasy drama infused with music and horror fables based on the real story of the 'King and Jester', a cult Russian punk-rock band, enormously popular in the 1990-2000s. The show goes along the band's rocky road to success and tells the story of its polarizing-natured frontman Michael Gorshenev and his tragic death in 2013. Tricksters, evil spirits, noblemen, and other characters of the 'King and Jester' song verse make their way into the lives of Gorshenev and his bandmates.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting blend of band biography and dark fantasy where the real history of a legendary Russian punk act becomes entangled with gothic mythology and horror. The show trades between the grimy struggle for artistic survival and a supernatural folklore that mirrors the band's moral descent.
