Description

"Star genius", "new Gogol", "winged unearthly creature" and at the same time - "hysterical, clamorous", "vain poseur", "underincarnated phantom"... This is how contemporaries characterized one of the most striking figures of the Silver Age - the poet Andrei Bely. This film, consisting of eight parts, represents fragments of Andrei Bely's biography scattered over time. The main women in the poet's life were Asya Turgeneva, Lyubov Mendeleeva, Nina Petrovskaya, Claudia Vasilyeva - the film is also about them.
