Alexander Blinov

The film’s plot is based on a true story about a 10-year-old boy from a village, Ilya,whose father is killed. The criminal remains unpunished. Nobody around this situation is particularly worried, except the child, who arranges a real hunt for the murderer.

Five friends – a poet, an actor, a painter, an architect and a primitivist film director – are five red avant-garde artists who try to find the embodiment of their hopes and dreams in the young Soviet state. The Revolution is boiling up like a bottle with apple cider: winged service dogs and heart-shaped potatoes, dead Semashko, the People’s Commissar for Health, and cheerful angels, love for the Tsar and love for the young secretary Annushka, executions and pregnancies – everything is interlaced and inseparable!

Une expérience différente du réalisateur A. Fedorchenko et une nouvelle forme de cinéma, qui plongent le spectateur dans les souvenirs du héros du film, dans les entrelacs de sa mémoire et à travers les événements clés de l'histoire russe, de l'âge d'argent à la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
