Film about the great cineaste Dziga Vertov, the poetic-revolutionary filmmaker who, with his "Kino-Eye" theory and films such as Man with a Movie Camera (1929) and Enthusiasm (1931), made his mark on film history. Filmmakers Thomas Tode and Ale Muñoz approach Vertov from the present in their documentary portrait of this revolutionary Soviet filmmaker. They travelled by train to Moscow, not only because Vertov loved trains, but also so that they could mix his train shots with their own. And, of course, so they could tell the legendary story of the agit-prop trains, the mobile cinemas with which Bolshevik filmmakers travelled the Soviet Union in the 1920s to bring their political ideals to the people.
