Dzisay

In Dzisay, a well-read Russian businessman learns of the ancient Japanese tradition of a scapegoat known as Jisai, who absorbs the misfortunes of their master. He decides to create his own version of this tradition by hiring an unemployed man, referred to as Dzisay, to take the brunt of life's challenges on his behalf. This darkly humorous premise sets the stage for a comedy that intertwines cultural references with modern-day dilemmas.

The film features a cast that includes Aleksandr Lykov, Mikhail Filippov, Svetlana Timofeeva-Letunovskaya, and Evgeny Sergeev, bringing to life the absurdity of the situation. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are invited to ponder the implications of using another person as a buffer against adversity, all while enjoying the comedic elements that arise from such a peculiar arrangement.
