The movie will be revealed to ticket holders 5 min before the start of the movie, but we can say that it is very unlikely that you have seen this movie, as it hasn't been released in Russia yet (as of 28th Oct) and has only been shown once abroad.
There are 200 comfortable leather seats in the theatre and they are allocated on a first-come first-served basis, as there are no seating numbers or rows displayed. Please arrive early to get a good seat.

The film is based on two of Russia’s greatest creations.
The short story “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol and the 1930 Opera “The Nose” by composer Dmitri Shostakovich based on Gogol’s aforementioned novel of the same name. The film is dedicated to pioneers, innovators in art and people who were ahead of their time, in that most significantly they had the courage to go against the tide at the cost of personal well-being, and often life. The main characters of the film are the writers Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Bulgakov, director Vsevolod Meyerhold and composer Dmitry Shostakovich.
