The day before Vladimir Putin's inauguration, a march takes place on Moscow's Bolotnaya Square - a protest against the Russian government's unyielding grip on power. This peaceful march is brutally dispersed by the police. The film's protagonist, Solidarity activist Vselovod Chernozub, decides to stay on Bolotnaya Square until the end. They do not know that May 6th 2012 will mark the end of their generation's revolution and the start of a new era that has no place for them. But Vselovod is young, and convinced that peaceful protest will win out. He hopes to set up a tent city in Pushkin Square (Moscow) the day after the presidential elections and nudge society towards peaceful politics change... It is an attempt to answer some questions: Who is Putin for Russians, really? Is power in his hands, or in the hands of those who live in Russia? Why do people in Russia not to want changes? Could the Putin era last forever?
