Overview

Based on a short story by Aleksandr Grin (the 'Russian Poe'), Morgiana is the story of two sisters, Klára and Viktoria who live a life of decadent excess stranded somewhere between the mid-19th and early 20th century. Klára is blonde and beautiful, whilst Viktoria is sadistic and brimming with hate and jealousy. She hatches a terrible revenge by slowly poisoning her more popular sister. As the poison takes hold, Klára begins to lose grip on her sanity.
