The film details the early years of the legendary Siberian Punk/Rock group 'Гражданская Оборона' (Grazhdanskaya Oborona), and its frontman, Egor Letov.
The world's first documentary about Siberia's punk rock scene in the 1980s. It was a phenomenon of those times that this music existed thousands of miles away from the movement's epicentres in New York and London.
Subjective feeling of the natural talent of the participants in the film is combined with the author's reflection on the nature of talent and suicide.
The film is based on the concert of "Pop Mechanics" under the direction of Sergey Kuryokhin.
