The narrative unfolds in the chaotic backdrop of Moscow during the Yeltsin era in the early 1990s, a time characterized by overwhelming disorder and corruption. The story revolves around Babylen Tatarsky, a graduate student and aspiring poet, who finds himself homeless following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Faced with this new reality, he discovers his unexpected vocation in creating Russian versions of Western advertisements. While his career as a copywriter flourishes, Tatarsky grapples with the increasing materialism and self-indulgence that defines contemporary culture. His journey is not merely about professional success; it is a profound quest for meaning in a society that seems to have lost its way.
