"Humiliated and Insulted" was created after Dostoevsky's exile to Siberia, where he had to spend eight years. In the socially regulated metropolis of St. Petersburg lives the writer Ivan Petrovich, who achieved great success with his debut. However, life does not treat him well, and he ends up in the hospital, where he recounts the love experiences of his last year of life. They are romantic yet brutal and come straight from his heart.
