Summary
This documentary relates the Russian Revolution through images from Soviet fiction films. It presents the political utopia in which creative freedom is a driving force, living in the shadow of authoritarian power that will sweep through the world of film and the rest of society. The documentary follows the trajectories of five iconic protagonists and gives them a voice: The poet Vladimir Mayakovski, The filmmaker Lev Kuleshov, a pioneer of the new generation, Boris Barnet, Sergei Eisenstein and the obscure Siberian civil servant Boris Shumyatsky.
