This "direct cinema" documentary explores the art and inner workings of a major art institution in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Curators, art handlers, restoration specialists, designers and, of course, visitors are fascinating characters in this unhurried, poignant and occasionally funny survey of what is cherished and revered by the nation of forty-five million people. The curation, mounting and opening of two special exhibitions—one dedicated to the Ukrainian Baroque and the other to a prominent avant-garde artist—are the defining events in the narrative structure of the film.
