Plot

The film tells the story of film director Sergei Parajanov. He makes great films that bring him international recognition. His defiant behavior leads to conflict with the Soviet totalitarian regime. Parajanov is thrown into prison on trumped-up charges. But an unwavering love of beauty gives strength to create, despite years of imprisonment and a ban on working in cinema.
