The film chronicles the final journey of 88-year-old Russian former top-secret scientist and philanthropist Dmitriy Zimin, alongside his longtime American friend Augie Fabela, acting US police officer, before Zimin’s scheduled euthanasia. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions between Putin’s Russia and the USA and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the film captures the closing scenes of a life and a time of peace. Zimin’s story is an embodiment of the harsh historical cycles that have defined Russia over the past century.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Documentary filmmaking that doesn't collect facts but builds an argument. The director has a position and doesn't hide it — credit for honesty. You watch and know you're being led somewhere specific.

Not without propagandistic techniques, but the arguments are convincing. If the subject interests you — worth watching. If not — it'll overwhelm.

Good for solo viewing or a small group of interested people. Not for a party.

Director: Vera Krichevskaya
