PATRIOTS AND POETS - Frolowa and Tsvetaeva

Synopsis

As a female Orpheus the singer Elena Frolova enters the depths of Russian history to resurrect her own Eurydice, the poet Marina Tsvetaeva. From Tsvetaeva's forgotten poems she creates songs through which we become contemporaries of an adventurous life spanning times of revolution and emigration, culminating in her return to the Soviet Union and ultimate downfall.
The harshest critic of this relationship is Elena Frolova's own mother Maja Stenanovna, who - as a child of socialism - regards such resurrection of Russian mysticism with a distinct sobriety.
