Plot synopsis
Screen version of a mass performance that took place on November 7, 1920 on Palace Square with the participation of Proletkult artists and extras of several thousand people. The performance reproduced the events of the October Revolution. Two sites were built on Palace Square - "white" and "red". On the "white" site, the actions of the Provisional Government and the bourgeoisie were staged in a comedic-satirical and parodic form, and on the "red" site, preparations were made for the October Revolution. At the end of the performance on the grounds, the action was transferred directly to the Palace Square. It was filled with participants in the mass performance, revolutionary sailors, soldiers and proletarians, who reproduced the storming of the Winter Palace.
