Moscow, 1930s. The works of a well-known writer are suddenly censored by the Soviet authorities, and the premiere of his play about Pontius Pilate is canceled. He is expelled from the Writers' Union and quickly becomes an outcast with no means of survival.

Inspired by Margarita – his beloved – he begins to write a new novel in which all the characters are satirical reflections of people from his own life. The central figure of the novel is Woland – a mysterious force who arrives in Moscow to take revenge on everyone who caused the writer’s downfall. The deeper the Master loses himself in writing, the more he fails to notice how the line between reality and imagination begins to blur.

The film is based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita, considered one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century.

The Master is portrayed by Evgeny Tsyganov, and Margarita is played by Yulia Snigir. Woland is performed by German actor August Diehl, while Pontius Pilate is portrayed by Claes Bang. Supporting roles include Yuri Kolokolnikov, Marat Basharov and Polina Aug.

Cast: August Diehl, Evgeny Tsyganov, Yulia Snigir, Claes Bang, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Polina Aug, Yuri Borisov
