Daniil Yuvachov, calling himself Kharms, is an eccentric and impoverished figure struggling for recognition. Considered a genius by himself, his works are repeatedly rejected by publishers, and his romantic pursuits are often misunderstood. A frequent attendee of literary gatherings and drawn to scandal, Kharms exists on the fringes of society, challenging the norms of his time with a blend of audacity and contradiction, reflecting the complexities of his artistic spirit.
