The search for Alex takes place in Bulgakov's world, where order and rationality have retreated before the onslaught of the underworld through wide-open doors, where cracks appear daily and people disappear, where Charon drives a taxi and dead horses fly into the heavens, as Pankrti would say, in an era when the demonic spreads like a virus, and there is no support in anything, not even love. Our hero is a witness to all this, and moreover, a participant, and he must keep his head and remain upright in a distorted world, find support and solve the enigma of Alex's disappearance, save his soul and return love...
