The Devil secretly shows up in Communist Russia with a gang of demons including a talking cat, causing as much chaos as possible around Moscow before throwing a huge midnight ball. Meanwhile, “the Master,” a writer thrown into an asylum for writing a book about Pontius Pilate, mourns the loss of his one true love, Margarita, who thinks that he is dead.
First Sentence:
