Centreed on real-life Russian-Jewish journalist Sergei Donatovich Dovlatov-Mechik, this film follows the events in Dovlatov's last few days before his death in 1971 Leningrad. Though Sergei aspires to stay in Russia with his family and write about what he has witnessed during the Brezhnev regime, his manuscripts are continually rejected, but he continues trying, despite the fact that other writers have been forced into exile for their views.
