Russia, early 1990s. Amid post-Soviet chaos, a brilliant young man, Vadim Baranov, charts his path. First an artist, then a reality-TV producer, he becomes the spin doctor to a rising KGB agent: Vladimir Putin. At the heart of power, Baranov shapes the new Russia, blurring the boundaries between truth and lies, belief and manipulation. Only the magnetic Ksenia remains beyond his control, tempting him away from this dangerous game. Years later, having retreated into silence and become shrouded in mystery, Baranov finally opens up, revealing the dark secrets of the regime he helped build.

Filmography: Personal Shopper (2016), Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), Summer Hours (2008), Les destinées sentimentales (2000).
