The film is dedicated to the centenary of Alexander Galich. One of the great trinity of bards Galich - Okudzhava - Vysotsky, who for decades determined the social and intellectual climate of the country. The authors of the film tried to understand how it happened that he, a recognized playwright and screenwriter, challenged the authorities and chose the fate of a disgraced bard, an idol of informal culture, went his way from well-being to rejection, to unofficial glory? He was forced to leave the USSR, three years later he died tragically in Paris, and his songs keep coming back and coming back to us.
