This documentary story about Tarkovsky's life and work was written by his son. The outstanding filmmaker himself tells the story of his life.


This film is about Tarkovsky as a person, not as much as a director. The film is focused on his vision of the world, the people around him, his relationships, the movie industry and religion. The narration is structured in chronological order: part 1) childhood and youth; part 2) his accomplishment as a filmmaker; part 3) emigration from Russia; part 4) the last interview.
