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. The film is inspired by laws adopted in 2015 by the Parliament of Ukraine, which condemn the Communist totalitarian regime and ban the use of its symbols.

Reviews
by Emilie Dav.
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.
by Pierre Rossie
Both comical, sad and cheerful documentary movie. The experimental approach is making this documentary unique and definitively worth watching.
