In a small Russian village, the lives of the inhabitants revolve around the revolution and the iconic figure of Lenin. The film follows the intertwined stories of three characters who represent different aspects of Soviet society. First, there is Anya, a young idealist who, driven by revolutionary fervor, strives to bring Lenin's message into the daily lives of her community by organizing festivals and activities that inspire others to follow the path of socialism.
Next, we have Ivan, a Civil War veteran who, marked by the scars of his past, struggles with his skepticism towards the promises of the revolution. His disillusionment leads him to question the direction the nation has taken, creating an internal conflict that distances him from the community and his own family.
Finally, there is Misha, a talented musician who also feels the call of the revolution but seeks his artistic voice amidst an often-restricted environment. His quest for creative freedom intertwines with the journeys of Anya and Ivan, reflecting the struggle to find a balance between revolutionary ideals and individual needs.
Through captivating melodies and moments of dramatic introspection, the film pays tribute to Lenin while exploring how his legacy impacts the daily lives of citizens. The union of these characters in a time of change reveals the complexity of the revolution, its impact on the human soul, and the transformative power of music.
