In 1973, Leonid Samuilovich flees the USSR and lands a job at the BBC in London. Five years later, radio host Alexei Leonidov starts releasing clandestine recordings smuggled from totalitarian countries via intricate cloak-and-dagger operations. Today, 86-year-old music producer Leo Feigin sits on top of over 30.000 LPs, contemplating on the meaning of his work amidst the grim outlook of new Iron Curtains. Leo Records is a symbol of musical resistance against authoritarian regimes and a pioneer of what we now know as avant-garde.

Relying on the iconography specific to the 1990s, with the wonder drug Viagra and erotic phone lines of the "8989" type in their place, "Diabolique 3" is a fantasy farce about a dysfunctional couple's relationship. The wife is the one who takes the initiative, although her best and cosmopolitan friend advises her to leave her dull, conformist and, above all, sexually apathetic husband.
