Maxim and his comrades-in-arms are participating in top-secret experiments into the creation of a new man. The employees of the secret Institute are characterised by everything Maxim detests: alcoholism, depravity, weak will, loss of ideals, and lack of faith in the future. Vika, one of the waitresses in the Institute's cafeteria, falls in love with the young communist, though she is scared by his fascination with eugenics and his violent tendencies. Vika hopes that her passion and tenderness will soften Maxim, while the state security agents keep a watchful eye on their developing relationship.

Katya, a young librarian, believes in love, but her ideals are crushed by reality. After a string of disappointing affairs, Katya finally finds tenderness and understanding in the arms of her colleague, a journalist called Tanya. But then the First Department interferes: the state security services see this relationship as unacceptable for a Soviet woman.

Nikita Nekrasov is a scientist, a theoretical physicist who studies our world and other possible worlds. He refuses to make a choice between mathematics and physics, between one woman and another, as he ponders the existence of the multi-universe. At scientific conferences, attended by eminent foreign scientists and a rising younger generation of physicists alike, Nekrasov gets carried away debating the beauty of string theory. He attempts to explain to all of his women – Katya, the librarian, Zoya, the scientific secretary, Svetalana, the head of department – about the theory of his own polygamy, and the possibility of having enough feelings to satisfy everyone.

Within the top secret Institute of Physics Problems, the scientist Nikita Nekrasov is visited by his wife and small children. While away from his family the physicist has managed to fall in love with other women. In open conversations with his spouse – in the bedroom, the dining room, and while out walking – he attempts to convince her of the legitimacy of polygamous relationships, and to test the limits of her unconditional love.

It is 1953, Stalin has just died. It is a troubled and uncertain period for the whole of the Soviet Union, particularly for the state security services. In the Institute, a secret research facility, the scientists continue their theoretical and experimental work. Every night they strain their ears to listen for footsteps in the dark corridors: who have they come for this time? Who has reported on who? Having survived the fear and humiliation of an interrogation, the Head of the Theoretical Department, Andrei Losev, refuses to cooperate with the security services, only to face a new ordeal back in his own home.

«The Return of the Prodigal Son» is the first volume from the film (novel) of Anatoli Vassiliev’s «Empire» inside the Dau cycle. The story is about inner kinship, which is much closer than blood, about inevitable betrayal, about almost fatherly love and forgiveness. Cigarettes (papirossa), images from «Faust» and «Don Juan», walks in the Soviet Park of culture... And a terrible, narrow gap inside the brutal regime where you have to be skilled enough to survive... Yes! and they also play gorodki (skittles) with childish passion!

Dau is a successful and prosperous scientist, but feels excruciatingly dissatisfied with his family life. Through Maria he hopes to regain lost harmony and beauty, but reality intrudes when Nora, Dau's wife, returns home.

Once just a girl from the provinces, Nora is now married to a successful scientist and lives together with her family within the confines of a secret and privileged Moscow institute. Nora is visited by her mother for the first time since her wedding. Her mother closely observes the atmosphere within the couple's home, trying to work out whether her daughter is happy. During the course of their intimate conversations the complexity of their contradictory relationship is revealed.

A secret Soviet Institute conducts scientific and occult experiments on animals and human beings to create the perfect person.

They get a task - to eradicate the decaying elements of the Institute’s community, and if needs be, destroy the fragile world of secret Soviet science.

The following day her life takes a dramatic turn when she is summoned to an interrogation by the KGB's General Vladimir Azhippo who questions the nature of her relationship with the foreign guest.

오스트리아의 여름은 아름답지만 약간 서늘하다. 티롤계곡의 저녁은 예고 없이 어두워지곤 한다. 호숫가 별장으로 향하는 게오르그 가족의 자동차를 내려다보는 높은 카메라는 이들의 왜소함을 강조하는 듯하다. 그들은 헨델, 모짜르트를 좋아하고, 함께 휴가를 즐길 이웃이 기다리고 있다. 그러나 그들을 맞이한 이웃의 태도는 어딘가 냉랭한 기운이 감돈다. 이상한 느낌이지만 크게 신경 쓸 일은 아니다. 게오르그의 부인 안나는 짐을 대충 정리하고 저녁을 준비한다. 이때 찾아든 낯선 청년 피터, 이웃의 에바가 보냈다며 달걀 4개를 빌려 달라고 한다. 이웃 에바의 사촌이라고 나타난 피터, 청년의 행동이 어딘가 이상하다. 전화기를 물에 빠뜨리지 않나, 달걀을 깨먹질 않나, 달걀을 더 내놓으라고 태연자약하게 요구하질 않나, 낯선 청년 폴의 등장은 더욱 안나를 불쾌하게 하고 신경이 날카로워진 안나는 그들에게 나가라는 요구를 하게 된다. 악의라고는 찾아볼 수 없던 청년들의 태도가 돌변하고 안나와 게오르그는 어쩔 줄 몰라한다. 골프채로 가볍게 게오르그의 다리를 부러뜨리고 관객을 향한 눈짓과 함께 재밌는 게임이 시작된다. 도저히 상상할 수 없는 게임이 펼쳐진다. 폴과 피터는 안나가족을 내일 오전 9시까지 모두 죽인다는 전제 아래 게임을 시작하며 관객에게도 참여할 것을 요구한다. 객석을 향한 폴의 눈길이 한없이 불편하지만, 조종권은 이미 그들에게 있다. 그리고 차례차례 죽어가는 살인 파티. 왜 이들은 반항하지 않는가라는 의문은 쓸데없는 일, 리모트 콘트롤을 이용한 반전은 왜 이들이 무기력하게 죽어갈 수 밖에 없는지 설명한다.

This spectacular opera film was taped in 1967 and is based on the 1966 Salzburg Festival production directed by Herbert von Karajan himself, who also conducts the fabulous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The production features the three greatest exponents of their respective roles at the time: Grace Bumbry’s magnificently seductive-toned Carmen, Mirella Freni’s ineffably lovely, touching Micaëla and Jon Vickers’s thrillingly manic-depressive Don José. On its release the film was hailed by Die Presse, (Vienna) as a “unique artistic event”, while Le Monde felt that Karajan’s production brought “a whole new dimension” to the opera, “combined with a magisterial interpretation”. A classical and utterly dramatic approach to probably the world's most beloved opera – Karajan’s Carmen is as much a delicacy for opera fans as it is a perfect starter for newcomers.
