The French painter Edouard Manet painted four canvases depicting the execution in 1867 of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. This short dramatic film evokes the artist's studio and the events of Maximilian's death, using a single, uninterrupted shot to present the artistic thought process through the eyes of the painter. The narration, written by the film's director, takes the form of an imagined interior monologue, presented in voice-over style in French and German with English subtitles. It alludes to the narrative, historical and visual texts that Manet drew upon to form his four versions of the painting.
The Old Man, the Bald Man, Lenin and 148 other nicknames are pseudonyms of the hereditary nobleman Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. He is a retarded infant, a thin, red–haired teenager, a young student, a provincial social Democrat, a young lawyer who traded his career for exile to Siberia. He is Lenin, the preacher of the armed struggle against autocracy, the man who organized the supply of weapons and ammunition to Russia, whose slogan is "Fight together, go separately" – it does not matter with whom: with dark people or with the general staffs of the Japanese and German armies. An incredibly able-bodied, passionate orthodox Marxist who paved the way to power with his pragmatism.
