On December 31, 1999, Vladimir Putin joined the chair of the President of Russia. The film's director, Vitaly Manski ("Under the protection of the eternal sun", the winner of the 13th Millennium Docs Against Gravity) was the head of the documentary department of Russian public television, when the country was moving from the Yeltsin era to Putin's authoritarian regime. He witnessed how Putin took the first steps to abolish Yeltsin's democratic reforms. Based on the unique materials from 1999-2000, witness accounts and his own experiences, he created an extremely intimate portrait of Vladimir Putin and a landmark period in Russian history.
