Overview

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.

How It Feels

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

A disorienting nocturnal plunge into a stranger's city, where a freshly released prisoner encounters the sinister underbelly of communist Sofia with mounting dread and bewilderment. The film is a fever dream of paranoia and alienation, told through a single transformative night.
