Documentary homage to Sergei Parajanov, a brilliant filmmaker and artist, on his 100 anniversary. Embark on a mesmerizing journey into the world of Parajanov, and witness the blend of unique archive material with surrealistic puppetry scenes, blurring the lines between imagination and reality.

Exploration of the person and the tales of Parajanov's family, set against the backdrop of his eccentricity and defiance of Soviet censorship. Witness the genesis of his poetic film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and his clashes with authorities in Soviet Ukraine, including wrongful imprisonment. Experience of the artist's resilience as he crafts masterpieces from prison scraps. The film is a tribute to an indomitable spirit, reminding us of the enduring legacy of one of cinema's true visionaries.
