A dying poet recalls his childhood and memories of pivotal moments in Soviet history as a series of fragmented dreams that blend past, present, and future into a poignant tapestry of nostalgia, longing, and self-reflection. Through a non-linear narrative, the film juxtaposes everyday life with historical events, such as World War II and the Spanish Civil War, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that dissolves boundaries between reality and memory. The cinematography seamlessly shifts between color, black-and-white, and sepia tones, mirroring the poet's own inner world of introspection and recollection. As the poet's memories unfold, the film becomes an intimate portrait of a life lived in the shadow of Soviet history, where the personal and historical blur into a profound exploration of human existence.
