A heroic fantasy about an artist’s destiny at the tumultuous time of social transformations. One of director Alexander Mitta’s best films. The south of Russia, 1920. In a town square, a mono-performance is on, based on Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”. The film’s hero who took the pseudonym “Revarm”, which stands for “Revolutionary Art for the Masses”, is seriously interested in theatre. The real life and the stage one are intertwined in his destiny. In a provincial town where the power continuously changes hands, going from the Reds to the Whites, from the Whites to a band of the Greens, this youthful stage reformer, endowed with the gift of persuasion, attracts people to his cause, leaving no one indifferent.“算了，一看你就是没见识的。”谈昙嗤之以鼻，用鼻音说道：“看你出来行走，还要带着俩保镖就知道，你没什么江湖阅历，男子汉大丈夫行走天下独往独来！快意恩仇！就像我这般！才活的潇洒，活的快慰！”
