A young teacher named Leon Tolchinsky arrives in the Ukrainian village of Kulyenchikov seeking employment as a tutor for Sophia Zubritsky. He soon discovers the entire town is cursed with chronic stupidity, rendering its inhabitants incapable of learning. If Leon cannot educate Sophia within 24 hours, he too will fall victim to the curse.
