A forgotten church in a Moscow suburb, where the rain always smells of ozone. Two priests, Father Andrei and Father Ilya, discover their parish sits atop a literal Hellmouth. Their solution? Not exorcism, but a wildly bureaucratic containment system involving filed reports, holy water quotas, and a very annoyed minor demon trapped in the sacristy. This 1993 genre-blending cocktail of action, comedy, fantasy, and thriller pits divine paperwork against infernal chaos, where saving souls requires triplicate forms and a good sense of timing.

It's for viewers who appreciate unconventional stories with a dark comedic edge. One feels a strange mix of detachment and investment in this bureaucratic inferno. — MovieFinder Editorial
