Mikhail Kulakov, the protagonist of the film, is a prominent figure of the Russian unofficial art scene of the 50s-60s. He was an abstractionist, a tachiste, a participant in the first underground expositions. He lived and worked at great extremes, advocating the idea of freedom as the supreme value.
