Director Andrey Kalistratov is making a multi-part television film about the literary life of Petrograd after the Civil War, about the House of Arts, which was created by the Bolsheviks to control the creative intelligentsia. Modern Petersburg and Petrograd of 1921 are intricately intertwined in the director's mind. The cruel, bloody, but romantic world of the first years of the revolution and the artistic and everyday environment of modern cinema coexist in one space. The main characters of the film that Kalistratov is shooting - the poet and former officer Pyotr Versilov, his girlfriend Olga, the French documentary cameraman Etienne Faberge and his wife Francoise - are as real to the director as the people around him-the film's producer Semyon Mikhailovich, the film crew, actors, friends, acquaintances, relatives. Despite the demands of the producer to be "simpler" and "more economical", Kalistratov wants to make a real historical film, not a standard TV series "soap".

Srubov é agente da CHEKA, a polícia secreta de Lenin montada após a Revolução Bolchevique. Eles prendem, interrogam por um minuto, decidem em dez segundos, e executam. Executam intelectuais, aristocratas, padres, judeus e suas famílias. No porão do edifício, cinco pessoas são executadas ao mesmo tempo enquanto estão nuas de frente para portas de madeira. Ninguém se lembra de pedir suas últimas palavras; não há mártires, apenas corpos anônimos. Diariamente temos o julgamento rápido, as execuções, o carregamento de corpos para os vagões. Srubov é frio, distante, sexualmente disfuncional, e um pensador profundo, odiado por ex-amigos e por sua família. Enquanto ele tenta argumentar a natureza da revolução e da finalidade da CHEKA, ele lentamente vai enlouquecendo.
