Synopsis
Vasyl Stus, a Ukrainian poet, initially sought a life in literature rather than politics. Born in the early 1930s, he became a dissident as the Soviet Union suppressed his work. The Soviet special services and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union targeted him for his views. Through interviews with family members like Dmytro Stus and insights from peers like Ivan Drach, the film details Stus's shift from a literary dreamer to a political prisoner. It covers his opposition to Soviet repression until his death in 1985.
