Plot synopsis
The film’s main character, Viktor Golyshev, is a translator. He gave the Russian reader access to masterpieces of English literature such as George Orwell’s 1984, William Faulkner’s Light in August, Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Robert P. Warren’s All the King’s Men… All of Russia knows these novels. Yet, few know about Golishev. He is an “inner man”. His philosophy is simple and Tolstoy-like: the Small Deeds Theory. He believes man is an interpreter from God, and the result of such a viewpoint is the creation of a high culture.
