About The Catalyst
In an ordinary city prison the unbelievable happens: the wall of the building collapses. The management of the city and the prison is forced to urgently find new apartments for their wards, and they honorably get out of this difficult situation in a very original way - criminals are moved in with persistent non-payers for the apartment.
Directed by George Kevorkoff, The Catalyst leans on a strong ensemble — Evgeniy Steblov, Viktor Ilichyov, Marina Levtova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1990.
