During the Soviet era, over 30,000 monuments to Lenin were erected across the USSR. They were typically placed in locations where Ilyich could “see” the fulfillment of his ideals: factories and plants in operation, workers’ living standards improving, and the successful construction of socialism as a whole. In turn, Lenin’s presence was believed to have a beneficial influence on the surrounding area. Flowerbeds were planted, flags displayed, and blue spruces planted around the monuments. These were, in a sense, “temporary portals” leading to a communist tomorrow. How do these “islands of the future” look today? What does Lenin see now? How do the descendants of the builders of communism perceive him? The film is composed of 10 vignettes, filmed in different corners of Russia.
