A film about the life and work of the outstanding Russian literary critic, writer, screenwriter, leader of the Russian formal school Viktor Shklovsky. Tracing the brightest moments of this life, tightly intertwined with the life of the twentieth century, is the main task of the film. And, of course, the creators of the documentary could not ignore the writer's love interests, which he wrote about in the famous "letters not about love."

The film tells about Sergei Yun-Fu, or Sergei Mao, the son of Mao Zedong, and Nikolai Elizarov, or Chiang Ching-guo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Both of them grew up, got an education and worked in the USSR. One fought as a tanker in the Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War, the other was one of the leaders of Uralmash. But the Comintern and the NKVD equally disposed of their Russian destinies. Both were valuable figures in Stalin's game of influence in China and in the bitter struggle for power between the two Chinese dictators. Both returned to China to become companions of their fathers in this struggle. They themselves never met. Sergei died in the Korean War in 1950. Jiang Jingguo became the President of Taiwan.
