Details

In the cramped basement of a boarding-house, the thieves, whores, cynics and dreamers at the bottom of society struggle to survive in a Russia on the eve of revolution. Gorky's colourful characters are a grimly realistic circle of lost souls, stripped of possessions, hope and humanity. They survive with humour, violence, alcohol and fantasies of their past. However, when a new lodger arrives, offering hope of a better future - in this life or the next - the effect on the inhabitants is huge. Some reject and others embrace him, but all of their lives will be changed forever.
