From the cycle "Political Theater". The teleplay is built as a kind of investigation into the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, during which, unlike a criminal investigation, not the identity of the criminal is revealed, but the fate of Palme himself, his life principles, views, intentions and dreams.
The film was shot in Venice, where two poet friends, Joseph Brodsky and Evgeny Rein, meet to walk along the embankments, sit in cafes, talking about poetry, language, Venice, Russia, the future, cats, and read their poems.
