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 5 iconic protagonists and gives them a voice: The poet Vladimir Mayakovski, The filmmaker Lev Kuleshov, a pioneer of the new generation, Boris Barnet, Sergei Eis enstein and the obscure Siberian civil servant Boris Shumyatsky.
