A film about the composer Sergei Prokofiev. Outwardly, the happy fate of the actor in the film seems deeply tragic in essence. By means of fiction and documentary films, the author of the film tries to penetrate into the inner world of the artist, to show the contradiction and tragedy of the creative and human personality. The style of the picture is original, the pictorial range is exquisite.
