Бег
The film is about a group of people who in other times wouldn't have anything in common, some of them innocent bystanders, some moral criminals. But nothing is straightforward and simple. From Russia "the run" continues to Constantinople, to Paris, back to Russia. Some of them have understood that they can't live outside Russia and go back maybe to be happy, maybe not, some go back to face sure death for their crimes, some don't go back and know that are going to miss homeland forever, some are comfortably well off (are they?) in exile. Sentimental without syrup, tragic and comical at the same time.

An extended interview with Vasily Shulgin, a right wing Russian politician and member of the pre-revolutionary Russian parliament, who later, in Europe, set up an anti-Soviet military force during the Second World War. Captured by Soviet forces in 1945, he spent the next couple of decades in prison. The interview takes him through his life, with archival footage, in order to prove him "historically wrong," but the wily Shulgin often gets the upper hand on his Soviet interviewer - causing the film to be shelved shortly after its release.
