Life of Pavel Tchelitchew, the founder of mystical surrealist movement, was full of drama and mystery. One of the most influential artists of the first part of the 20th century, he stayed largely unknown in Russia, his native country. The documentary features his drawings and paintings, as well as interviews with major followers and researchers of his work. It also includes an exclusive interview with his grandnephew, a US film-maker Mark Chelishchev. His other grandnephew Konstantin Kedrov, a Russian poet and a Noble Prize nominee, appears as its host and narrator.
