After making films as part of a collective in the 1960s named for the Russian director Aleksandr Medvedkin, Marker made a documentary on its namesake. The film is both a tribute to Medvedkin (who was a committed Bolshevik) and a journey into film history. It also serves as a history of Russia and its current place in the world.
