SYNOPSIS: Ironic documentary film about the farewell to the phantoms of the USSR in Ukraine. The spiritual session with the ghost of Lenin guides us through our past, present and the future. The film presents the dawn and the twilight of idols, and the curious afterlife of history’s ghosts.

Reviews
A different approach provides a unique look at the topic that is both lightheaded and sad at the same time. A film that will be remembered for not only being informative but also entertaining.
Both comical, sad and cheerful documentary movie. The experimental approach is making this documentary unique and definitively worth watching.
