Viktor es un escritor arruinado: está sin dinero, lo ha dejado su novia, tiene frío.
>Todo se complica cuando un gran periódico le encarga escribir esquelas de personajes públicos que aún están vivos. Parece una tarea fácil. Pero no lo es: los protagonistas de sus necrológicas empiezan a fallecer en extrañas circunstancias poco después de que escriba sobre ellos. Misha y Viktor se ven atrapados en una trama absurda y violenta.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Victor is depressed: his lover has dumped him, his short stories are too short, and the light has gone off in his dingy apartment. His only companion is Misha, the penguin he rescued from Kiev's Zoo, when they couldn't feed the animals anymore. Misha is the silent witness to Victor's despair and joins in on his celebration--fish and vodka--when his luck seems to turn and is commissioned to write obituaries. The weird thing is, the editor wants him to select subjects who are still alive, the movers and the shakers of the new, post-Communist society.
