Synopsis
The film is based on the archive propaganda newsreels produced in the USSR in the 50-s and 60-s. All across the vast expanse of the Soviet Motherland the life of its people, though full of hardship, deprivation and absurd rituals, is illuminated by the glorious shining of the
communist illusion.
