A vibrant, sensual portrait of Soviet-era rock musicians and their forbidden passions during a transformative summer, driven by music, desire, and the thrill of cultural rebellion.

Leningrad, one summer in the early eighties. Smuggling LPs by Lou Reed and David Bowie, the underground rock scene is boiling ahead of the Perestroika. Mike and his beautiful wife Natasha meet with young Viktor Tsoi. Together with friends, they will change the destiny of rock’n’roll in the Soviet Union.
