Sasha Sokolov is a man of mystery. Even more is known about his father, a deeply classified GRU agent, than about his son, a famous Russian writer. Sasha Sokolov's main novel "School for Fools" was called the Russian "The Catcher in the Rye", and Sasha himself was exalted to the "Russian Joyce". In 1975, Sokolov disappeared from the Soviet Union, published three novels, and either disappeared or closed himself off from the world. Many of his fans are sure that he has long been dead. The authors of the film did not just find out that the great Russian writer is alive, they found out that he (like his father) has been leading an interesting double life all these years. They searched for it in different countries and found it. And the writer Sasha Sokolov agreed to speak for the first time. The conversation went on for ten days. The writer spoke about life, simultaneously revealing the secrets of his secret biography, his and his family.
