1929 Russia, Vladimir 8 suffers chronic hiccups. In a Moscow hospital, famous Sergei Namestikov conducts bizarre experiments for a cure until his rival, Alexander Afiniganov, discovers pure evil beneath the boy's blank eyes and removes the child from polite society. Abandoned by all but his hiccups, we follow Vlad home via surreal encounters for 12 years.
