Synopsis by Phil Griffin
"Filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa stumbled upon never-before-seen footage that offers an intimate, in-depth look at the days preceding the funeral of former USSR leader Joseph Stalin. Using the found footage narrative technique, Loznitsa provides audiences with new insights into the death of Stalin and the ways in which his legacy affected the people under his political control.
