The Fall of Lenin

An ironic documentary film about the farewell to the phantoms of the USSR in Ukraine. The spiritual session with the ghost of Lenin guides us through our past, present, and future. The film presents the dawn and twilight of idols, as well as the curious afterlife of history’s ghosts. The film is inspired by laws adopted in 2015 by the Parliament of Ukraine, which condemn the Communist totalitarian regime and ban the use of communist symbols.
