This film about Sergei Bondarchuk is not a traditional description of the life of the famous director or a biopic on the occasion of a round number of an anniversary. The filmmakers of this film focused on a unique period in the history of world cinema, the period of the euphoria of the post-war "thaw", the era of great hopes, one of the main actors of which was the author of "War and Peace". Who was this man and filmmaker who shot intimate dramas and epic films? And how did he, the winner of many Soviet awards, become a figure of world cinema and a link between the two great powers of the Cold War era?
