Based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel «Master and Margarita». 1930's, Moscow. A famous writer is censored by the Soviet state: his novel is banned, and the theatrical premier of his new play about Pontius Pilate — canceled. In just a few days he becomes an outcast. Inspired by these misfortunes the writer conceives a new novel in which the devil, named Woland, satirically revenges all those responsible for the writer’s downfall. He knows this novel can never be published in the USSR, but Margarita — his muse pushes him to write it no matter what.
