Description
Novorzhev is a small town in the Pskov Region. After 6 p.m. the streets are empty and it seems as if life has come to a standstill here. But things are humming at the local leisure centre, where locals are rehearsing a play by a Spanish playwright. The characters poison each other, try to shoot their relatives and die, writhing in agony – until it’s no longer clear where the theatre ends and life begins.
