The story presented to the viewer is both the story of Lenfilm, the most difficult period of his life, and the story of the Lenfilm artist Viktor Ivanov, who preserved human dignity and the history of our country in difficult conditions. The time in which Victor lived and worked was not easy: perestroika with its illusions and disappointments. One of the foundations of the film is Vitya's latest work, the cartoon "Sirin", which became his kind of message, a story about his time. The film also features numerous chronicle materials and interviews with famous St. Petersburg cinematographers.
