The film is about the ambitious project of reconstruction of the historic building of the GES-2 power plant located on Bolotnaia Embankment under the direction of architect Renzo Piano and the transformation of the plant into a cultural institution and a house of culture of the V-A-C foundation founded by Leonid Mikhelson. The process of this metamorphosis lasted five years. The method used during the filming aimed to show big events through the prism of the interaction between art, the life of the construction site and the V-A-C foundation, through small details, through the people whose strengths made this achievement possible.
