Description

In a society striving for collective ideals, Nikolai Kavalerov, a disillusioned individualist, finds himself at odds with the new world order. He is haunted by the ghost of his former employer, a symbol of the old regime, and tormented by the pervasive envy he feels towards the seemingly content citizens of this new era. As Kavalerov grapples with his own desires and the suffocating conformity around him, the narrative delves into the psychological toll of ideological struggle and the elusive nature of happiness.
