The Letter Killers Club
Description
In the shadow of 1920s Soviet Moscow, a clandestine society known as the Letter Killers Club convenes weekly, its members dedicated to the radical preservation of pure thought by refusing to commit anything to paper. These self-proclaimed "conceivers" gather in a room of empty bookshelves to outdo each other with increasingly elaborate and perfect conceptual creations, from vanishing actors to derailed medieval clerics. Yet, beneath the surface of intellectual rivalry, a palpable mistrust festers among the members, all under the iron grip of their despotic President. As the lines between pure conception and deadly reality blur, the true, chilling implications of their commitment to the unwritten begin to unfold.
