Plot synopsis
An exploration of the mystical connection between the immortal novel *The Master and Margarita* and the personality of Mikhail Bulgakov. According to the creators, at some point the novel ceased to be the author’s text and began to dictate its will to the creator, interfering in his love life, his relationship with the authorities, and even hastening his fateful end. Fiction, according to the team, inexplicably turned into reality, and the book’s prophecies came true in Bulgakov’s own fate, prompting the question: who really guided the pen — the man or his immortal creation?
