The Russian Soul

In the streets of Moscow, Lina Wertmuller asks its inhabitants if they know who are personalities like Marx, Stalin, Hitler, Stanislavsky, Shakespeare and others. She also inquire about their dreams, about work and freedom. Between one testimony and another, she documents the daily life in Russia during the 1990s: street trading in Moscow, dancing in public spaces, nightlife, casinos, and popular religiosity.
