Written by Jim Hawkins
with Ben Kingsley as Roberto Cibrario, Connie Booth as Annie, Lee Montague as Lunacharsky, Stephen Rea as Mayakovsky

Moscow-based Italian 'business-man' Roberto Cibrario has the answer to the Soviet cinema's shortage of film stock and equipment. Jack Gold's film is based on real events in Russia and America between 1918 and 1921.
