Synopsis
Rescued from the icy Arctic, Viktor slowly awakens to tell an incredible story. A medical student who had mastered the art of bringing the dead back to life, he took the liberty of creating a "reanimated man" when his professor was killed and no one was in charge. When he returns to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart, the "regenerator" slips out of the laboratory and experiences life in its own "good and bad" way. He goes to Geneva in search of his creator, Viktor, and asks him to create a female companion for him, and the poor bride dies a horrible death at his hands. The grief-stricken Victor uses his wife's body to create a new woman... The writer-director of this remake of the story of "Frankenstein", on the one hand, to take advantage of modern technology, and on the other hand, trying to add a few Shakespearean tragedy in the body of the main character.
