Synopsis:

*********THIS DVD'S DESCRIPTION HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED YET********
In early 1990s Russia, amid post-Soviet chaos, brilliant young Vadim Baranov charts his path. First an artist, then a reality television producer, he becomes the spin doctor to rising KGB agent Vladimir Putin. At the heart of power, Baranov shapes the new Russia, blurring the boundaries between truth and lies, belief and manipulation. Only the magnetic Ksenia is beyond his control, tempting him away from this dangerous game. Years later, after retreating into silence and shrouded in mystery, Baranov finally reveals the dark secrets of the regime he helped build.

A young Russian filmmaker becomes an unlikely advisor to Vladimir Putin as he rises to power in post-Soviet Russia, navigating the new era's complexities and chaos.

As a new Russia emerges from the Soviet Union, a gifted young artist is drawn into the volatile political scene. He leverages his creativity into strategic influence as he works on the public image of the ascendant Vladimir Putin.
When the lines between truth and manipulation begin to blur, his ascent into the Kremlin?s inner circle exposes the personal and political costs of shaping a new national narrative. (Synopsis)
