Description

A rapid and whirling, musically arranged cascade of stunning visuals from the gone epoch. Rejected from the USSR Union of Composers, poet-songwriter Eugene Shikunov travels through towns and villages, offering businesses variations on the same 'production anthem' – songs meant to glorify the heroic daily labour of their employees. Rare instance of an absurd documentary-comedy.
