1915. Europe is engulfed in the flames of World War I. At this time, the theorist of the revolution, political emigrant and adventurer Alexander Parvus negotiates with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Gottlieb von Jagow. The negotiations end in unexpected success. The German government personally allocates Parvus "considerable money", which is to go towards the revolution in Russia. This is where the story begins, which will tell not only about the life of this extraordinary man and his role in the historical events that ended in October 1917.
Equally important heroes of the film will be Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who, thanks to Parvus's efforts, managed to return to Russia in time to lead the revolution, as well as the imperial counterintelligence agent Alexei Mezentsev, who risks his life in order to prevent the inevitable end of one era and the beginning of a new one.
