Story
The story unfolds in one night. The main character, the Moth, is freed on parole after spending time in prison on wrongful conviction for a murder. He was sent to jail shortly before the Bulgarian communist coup of 1944, and now finds himself in a new and alien world – the totalitarian Sofia of the 1960s. All hell breaks loose as soon as he walks out of jail.
