The brilliant film director and writer Alexander Dovzhenko believed that it was possible to create an outstanding work of art only in an environment of beauty. Until now, the gardens planted by Dovzhenko are blooming at the Kyiv Film Studio and Mosfilm. In the film by Ekaterina Tyutina, the story is based on the diaries of the director and the unpublished memoirs of his wife and muse Yulia Solntseva.
