Bizarre political comedy shot by the renowned Makavejev entirely on location in Berlin. Once again he settles some old accounts with Stalinism.As a result of a misunderstanding, the Russian major Borisovich has stayed on in a Berlin without a Wall while the Red Army has long returned to Russia. He gets into trouble when he is arrested with no ID. In his dreams he is pursued by the ghost of Lenin; meanwhile in Berlin Lenin has literally been toppled from his pedestal.As a result of a misunderstanding, the Russian major Borisovich has stayed on in a Berlin without a Wall while the Red Army has long returned to Russia.
