Synopsis

Zoyka's Apartment captures the exotic image and the real heartbeat of an amazing city at a fascinating moment: Moscow in the Soviet equivalent of the roaring 20's, in a pause between the cyclone of the revolution and the inferno of the purges, a window of desperate opportunity. Tremendous danger mingles with heady excitement, as everyone scrambles to get together as many rubles as possible and escape to Paris before the inevitable crackdown.
