This documentary covers the Russian Revolution through images from Soviet fiction films from 1918 to 1934. 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.
Russia disrupts the beginning of the twentieth century with two revolutions. One is political, the second is artistic. On May 1, 1918, just months after the triumph of the Bolshevik Revolution, tens of thousands of people packed frantically to Red Square in Moscow to attend the open-air screening of the first film directed by the Russian futurist poet Vladimir Mayakovsky.
The cinema is nationalized, free screenings are organized everywhere in the immense USSR thanks to trains and barges. Millions of men and women discover the reflection of their lives refracted and refined by the prism of the big screen and fiction.
