The history of mankind is also the history of wars. The film contains military footage of the 20th century that has never been included in official chronicles. The so-called "cuts" are, as a rule, "household" in nature. The film is an image of a huge and hopeless war, where men wander through the twentieth century, where there is no front line, where the war turns into a massive sexual perversion that destroys the very logic of human existence.

In 1987, the UN Commission on Human Rights adopted a resolution recognizing conscientious objection to military service as "a legitimate exercise of freedom of thought, conscience and religion." In Russia, the right to alternative civilian service was first enshrined in the 1993 Constitution. By law, not only believers can refuse to serve in the armed forces. Other citizens have the right to declare not about faith, but about CONVINCES that are incompatible with military service, peacekeeping, philosophical, moral, ethical, political, etc. Alternative employees work as librarians, orderlies, archivists, workers in circuses and theaters, etc. Sounds good - peaceful work is wonderful! But in the military enlistment office you need to prove that your beliefs are such. The draft board will decide what exactly you are sincerely convinced of. An attempt to exercise one's legal right in Russia often leads to a dramatic clash between the Personality and the System, which shaves everyone with the same brush and is merciless to those who stand out from the crowd.

In the film, experts from different countries not only explain the causes of the famine, they talk about humanity, which erased the boundaries between states and peoples. The Nansen Mission, the American ARA, the English Quakers, and several dozen other organizations, which worked in Soviet Russia at the time, helped people survive, and the Soviet government was grateful for the help. The famine of the 1920s became one of the first symbols of the international struggle for life. Therefore, the film is not only the story of political decisions, it is, first and foremost, the story of humanism, which should not be forgotten.

Georgia, Kutaisi. The war had just ended, there were few joys. Everyone's nerves were on edge, the homeless went in flocks. I lived as a partisan in my hometown, and the only island where I felt good was Library No. 6, this is how the amazing childhood story of the artist, writer and director Rezo Gabriadze begins, in which real facts are mixed with the fantasies and dreams of a 10-year-old boy. In simple words of a little boy, Rezo Gabriadze talks about love, respect, repentance, forgiveness, growing up, interspersing funny and sad in equal proportions. He tells charming and touching stories about how to pass the test of humanity, comprehend compassion and find beauty in the little things in life. A feature-length animated film based on the stories and drawings of Rezo himself is a warm and touching declaration of love to the artist from the people closest to him.

An experimental documentary film that delves into the intricate facets of the issue of human dignity humiliation in Russia. The directors provide audiences with an unconventional perspective on situations where individuals are compelled to issue on-camera apologies for their words or actions. Through this experimental narrative approach, viewers will witness how it has become commonplace in modern Russia to extract apologies on camera. Some instances will evoke genuine sympathy as people grapple with public scrutiny. Simultaneously, other scenes will unveil the darker side of this trend, where apologies devolve into mere puppetry, extracted under the threat of personal and professional repercussions. The film incorporates a range of videos capturing moments of sincere apologies driven by a genuine acknowledgment of one's mistakes.

With the assassination in 1948 by state security officers of the head of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, Solomon Mikhoels, new times begin in the relationship between the Soviet government and Jews. The liquidation of the JAC, the execution of its activists, and the campaign against the "rootless cosmopolitans" form a new state anti-Semitism. The death of Stalin will cancel the massacre, but the former official Russian-Jewish harmony under socialism will no longer be restored. Popularly known superstars have not diminished: Botvinnik is the main chess player, Raikin is the main comedian, Plisetskaya is the main ballerina, Galich and Vysotsky are the main bards, many famous names in various fields, from nuclear physics to light music. But Jews have ceased to be co-authors of Russian communism. And they are no longer allowed into politics, and they themselves are especially actively engaged in "anti-Soviet activities." Without the Jews, the shadow economy is unimaginable, or rather “illegal business”, for which death sentences have been handed down since the early 1960s. And from the middle of the decade, the dissident movement begins to shake the system; the grandchildren of Jewish revolutionaries bring into it the same ardor and fearlessness that their grandfathers did in the overthrow of tsarism. Allowing Jewish emigration in the 1970s makes nationality a means of rejecting socialism and will prove to be a more frequent reason for leaving than the opportunity to reverse one's Russian assimilation. Finally, the collapse of the USSR will put an end to the "Jewish question" in the form in which the last Soviet generations found it.

How important it is to be able to see the beautiful in life, even if fate brought you to a remote Bamovsky village. The school librarian teaches children to dream, because this is what distinguishes a person from an animal. For the time being, children laugh at her quirks, but perhaps when they grow up, they will remember her lessons. Henryk contrasts dreams and romance with society's immersion in bestiality. It seems that nothing else can stop the moral decay.
