Synopsis
A film about Vera Mukhina (1889 – 1953) based on the diaries of the outstanding Riga-born sculptress who studied in Paris with Rodin´s pupil Bourdelle, the master of European sculpture. At the 1937 Paris World Exposition, Mukhina presented her monumental sculptural ensemble „Worker and Peasant Woman“. Weighing 75 tons and 53 metres high, it becomes a sensation. Mukhina truly believes in human ideas, and this is successfully used by the USSR propaganda machine.
