Synopsis
Vera Mukhina, a sculptress born in Riga in 1889, studied under Bourdelle in Paris. Her monumental work, Worker and Peasant Woman, debuted at the 1937 Paris World Exposition. Standing 53 meters tall and weighing 75 tons, the sculpture garnered significant attention. Mukhina's belief in human ideals aligned with the Soviet propaganda efforts of the time. The film draws from her diaries to provide insight into her artistic vision and the political context surrounding her work.
