A film about the difficult fate of the creation of Dziga Vertov's film masterpiece "A Man with a Movie Camera". Vertov, the founder of the Kino-Eye or Kino-Oko, a group of fighters for pure documentary cinema, had to overcome seven obstacles to make and show this amazing film. For example, Lilya Brik, having decided to make her debut in the cinema, borrowed the idea of the film "A Man with a Movie Camera" and launched with a parallel project "Glass Eye". In the film you will see a newsreel with Dziga Vetrov, the best shots from his paintings, as well as excerpts from the film Lily Brik.
