This documentary takes actual moments of the
filming of Russian Ark, plus interviews of members of the crew and the director
of the Hermitage museum, which is where the film takes place. At the end,
Sokurov talks about the initial idea, of his intentions ("To make a film in one
single breath… a film about the life of architecture, its space") and about
Russian culture encountering Western European culture.
