Synopsis

Red Krokodil tells the story of a man who, almost as a synecdoche, is meant to represent an ordinary man, or perhaps all men. It is the story of a man addicted to Krokodil that suddenly finds himself alone in a post-nuclear city similar to Chernobyl. His physical decay caused by the massive intake of drugs develops parallel to his inner world, as reality mixes with his hallucinations. The result is a film that uses the Krokodil as a metaphor of destruction.
