Alexander Filippenko Inna Churikova
in a historical drama by Rezo Gigineishvili
on the final crisis of an Empire
before its collapse
The world narrowly escapes a nuclear threat, the nation remains at war, and its Supreme Commander-in-Chief (ALEXANDER FILIPPENKO) is confined in a secret state clinic. He is old, frail, but steadfast in his power. "Power is seized, never surrendered," he declares. The elites and intelligence services exploit this scenario, engaging in their intense political games. The year is 1985…... And in 2024 there couldn’t be a stronger message from the past about the desperate games that powers play.
