Plot synopsis
Screen adaptation of a short story from Fazil Iskander's novel "Sandro de Tchegem", one of the nocturnal feasts of Stalin and his acolytes, during which Sandro de Tchégem, soloist in an Abkhazian ensemble is produced.
After his work (as he usually does), the artist returns home, but the repression begins immediately – artists disappear, the very ones who had participated in the last feast… the action takes place in 1935.
