    • Synopsis
    • Mesopotamian conspiracy theories. The spirit of Che Guevara summoned by a Ouija board. These aren't what one thinks of when it comes to Russian cinema, but Generation P is a game changer that explodes with unique and outrageous style.
      Based on Victor Pelevin's bestselling cult novel, Generation P follows the exploits of a disillusioned young poet named Babylen Tatarsky (Vladimir Yepifantsev) during the drab days of post-communist Moscow. He joins an advertising agency and discovers a knack for creating subversive campaigns that put distinctively Russian twists on Western-style goods, feeding the mad dash to rebrand the Russian dream for a new age of mass consumerism.
