Plot synopsis
«The image of people as slaves has deep roots in our mentality. But the Russian mind created the great Russian literature of the 19th century, the cultural explosion of the late 19th early 20th centuries which affected all cultural spheres. What underlies it all is the millennia-old specific world outlook, specific attitude to life, God and nature. And the thirst for freedom. Thus we have reasons not to look upon ourselves as puppets» says the Russian film director Andrei Smirnov. The set of his new film and the screening room; the present-day village in the Tambov region and the chronicle; excerpts from Andrei Smirnov’s movies and photos from the family archive. Those are the building blocks of this documentary.
