An attempt to look at the unfolding global upheavals through the eyes of Russian philosophers in exile — people forced to apply their own ideas to real life, facing the loss of home, the death of loved ones, persecution by the authorities, and painful divisions within their own intellectual community.
The film combines documentary footage with a surrealist line — a visualization of the protagonists’ ideas, fears, and reflections through video art and computer graphics.
Structurally, it unfolds like a dictionary of key human experiences — Happiness, Pain, Fear, Home, Death, and others — viewed through a contemporary philosophical lens.
