Once the theater was a holiday, entertainment, a spectacle. Then in Russia it became something greater: a place where the spectator reflects on conscience, on good and evil, on the meaning of life. It is not for nothing that Russian theater is spoken of as a “temple of art” and a “pulpit” from which the artist addresses society.

The film traces this path from antiquity to its flourishing. It shows how the very idea of the stage changed and how spectators began to come to the theater for spiritual experience, and not only for entertainment.
