Story
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.
Summary
Paroled after decades behind bars for a murder he didn't commit, Moth steps into Sofia's oppressive 1960s streets, a stark contrast to his pre-coup world. His first night free reveals a cityscape of decay and gloom, punctuated by an array of eccentric characters. Navigating this diabolical urban labyrinth, he must adapt to survive in his own unrecognizable homeland.
