The Devil has come to town. But don't worry– all he wants to do is stage a magic show. This absurd premise forms the central plot of Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece, "The Master and Margarita."

Alex Gendler explores the subversive novel. [Directed by Adriatic Animation, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Jure Buljević].
