This film tells the story of philologist and literary scholar Alexander Parnis, a legendary researcher of the life and work of Velimir Khlebnikov, and an expert on the Silver Age and Russian avant-garde. Thanks to Parnis, interest in Khlebnikov and the Futurists—who returned to Russian literary history after a long period of neglect—was revived in Russia. Our protagonist sought out people, recorded their memories, and spent countless hours in archives and libraries. He unearthed and introduced into academic circulation numerous texts published under pseudonyms and anonymously. Living an ascetic, nomadic lifestyle similar to Khlebnikov’s, Parnis was driven by his tireless, passionate, and charismatic nature, which fueled his devotion to his work.
