A true icon of the human rights movement in Russia, Lyudmila Alexeyeva was also a stunning storyteller. In this film we see her as a lively and captivating woman, and we learn the source of inspiration for her “poems”. Most important, however, we see how even though she grew up a model Soviet schoolgirl and member of the Communist Party, she later went on to be a co-founder of the Moscow Helsinki Group, which is still Russia’s leading human rights organization. This film is a fascinating journey filled with complex historical scenes that give us a chance to ponder wisdom, compassion, human dignity and love.

Kira Muratova was never a fan of giving interviews, and her husband, the artist and scriptwriter Yevgeny Golubenko, also doesn’t see any point in discussing the famous film director’s life. Everything she wanted to say has been invested in her brilliant films. Nevertheless, Kira Muratova’s beautiful castle – her home that was created by a talented artist – speaks volumes about her life, almost against her will.
