The film focuses on the story of the discovery of the biography and creative heritage of the Russian musician, composer Alexei Butakov, whose fate and musical works have long remained unknown. The film tells about a man who, while in a nazi concentration camp, created music, contrasting the inhumanity of an unbroken spirit and creativity.
Reviews
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
