The Nose or Conspiracy of Mavericks

Stalin's reign of terror in Russia during the first half of the 20th century. Described using a combination of historical settings, biographies and masterpieces from Russian avant-garde artists, composers and writers from this totalitarianism period.

The film is based on two greatest creations of the Russian genius, the short story “The Nose” by Nikolai Gogol and the opera “The Nose” upon Gogol’s novel, that was created in 1930 by the great Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich.
This film is dedicated to the pioneers, the groundbreakers in art. To the people who were ahead of their time. And who were, most importantly, brave enough to go against the current. For this, they had to pay the price of their own welfare, and often even their life.
