A film about one of the brightest artists of the second Russian avant-garde Hulo Sooster (1924-1970). His outstanding personality had a huge impact on the formation and environment of nonconformist artists, opening them to a different sense of culture. Hulot was the first foreigner they met. Despite the years spent in the camp, in the appearance and behavior of Hulot there was not the slightest hint of inner depression. The camp universities gave Sooster an amazing outlook, not stifled by the blinders of official views. Hulot did not break down in the unnatural conditions of Soviet power, but remained a free man.
