Russia, early 1990s: The collapse of the Soviet Union has created a new world of opportunities, including for the brilliant filmmaker, Vadim Baranov. He becomes the PR advisor to the ambitious KGB agent, Vladimir Putin. Skillfully blurring the lines between truth and lies, Vadim remains an enigmatic legend even after his departure from politics. Olivier Assayas brings Swiss author Giuliano da Empoli's novel to the screen with an engrossing look at the workings of Russian politics in the 1990s and a star-studded cast led by Jude Law, who portrays Putin with uncanny precision.
