The poet Natalya Gorbanevskaya (1936-2013) gained wide popularity primarily as a member of the dissident movement and one of the legendary eight who, on August 25, 1968, went to Red Square to protest against the invasion of Soviet troops in Czechoslovakia, paying for it with several years in prison. Gorbanevskaya was often called a heroine. She retorted, "I'm not a heroine, I'm an ordinary person." The authors of the film show several episodes from the life of Natalia Gorbanevskaya, wondering what kind of poet, woman, mother she was, and how her fate was after forced emigration from the USSR.

What does it mean to be a student and at the same time a conductor? How to deal with the organisation problems and a hostile orchestra that doesn’t want to collaborate? How to get through all of this without lowering the artistic standards your master has been trying to pass on you for many years? A film not just about the personal story, but about the process of academic artistic education in general. There is “no royal way to learn geometry” and neither is there one in Arts.

Nicolae is a 9-year-old boy. He is a pupil at the Russian language school in Soroca. He really likes to go to school. He looks forward to going to the "last day of school" to find out if he is going to be accepted into the third grade. He knows all the streets of Soroca, because, together with his brother, Gena, they wander all day. Soroca - is a small town in the north of the Republic of Moldova. It is known thanks to the medieval fortress, the oldest on the territory of the country, but also thanks to the Roma community, that lives compactly in a neighborhood on a hill from Soroca. The Roma are eccentric here. They built big houses, some of them being replicas of known buildings in the world. Hence the name of the movie The Bolshoi Theatre, referring to the well-known building in Moscow, but also to the theatrical nature of the Roma people.
