This film is about the life and fate of one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century. Grossman's novel "Life and Fate" was arrested on February 14, 1961, three years after the massacre of Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago" and a year and a half before the publication of Solzhenitsyn's "One Day of Ivan Denisovich" in Novy Mir. Grossman died shortly after Roman's arrest. His fate was taken away from him, but "the manuscript did not burn." Although I could. The film shows for the first time the documents from the "Special Folder" of Vasily Grossman, kept all these years under the stamp "Top Secret", as well as exclusive filming of the transfer of the arrested manuscript "Life and Destiny" from the archives of the FSB in TsGALI.
