LatestThe family of a former military man who is used to setting his own rules in any circumstances; a modern hipster family whose marriage is collapsing before our eyes; an aging actress with a young lover; a kept woman who was abandoned by her "daddy" and a crazy grandfather living in the attic. They will have to learn to accept each other with all the disadvantages, because they have no other living space.
Acting
Lysenkov's military dad energy is weaponized cringe.
Writing
Five disasters, zero easy exits. Tight ensemble chaos.
Production
The attic as pressure cooker — genius single location tension.
Creator
Evgeny Puzyrevsky
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Puzyrevsky's background in Russian sketch comedy shaped the rapid-fire ensemble dynamic; this is essentially a sitcom structural experiment disguised as domestic drama.
The 'madhouse' title works triple-duty: literal chaotic home, Soviet-era slang for insane asylum, and nod to Gogol's Dead Souls — this is a satire of who's truly unfit for society.
