1971, Leningrad. Ölümünden sonra ünlenecek Rus yazar Sergei Dovlatov, günlerini yazılarının yayımlanmasının koşulu olan Yazarlar Sendikası’na üyeliğini kovalayıp ufak yazı işleriyle geçirir. Akşamları ise caz dinlenen partilerde kentteki sanatçı ve yazarlarla bir araya gelir. Under Electric Clouds’un yönetmeni Alexey German Jr., Berlin’de dünya prömiyerini yapan yeni filminde Dovlatov’un hayatından altı günü anlatıyor ve bu hikâye üzerinden dönemin entelektüel çevresi ve onların Brejnev zamanı Sovyetler Birliği’yle ilişkisinin de portresini sunuyor.
