Summary
Sukhanov showed talent early, with daring controversial artwork, but he opted for prestige and comfort, becoming critic rather than creator as editor of Russia's leading art magazine. Suddenly in 1985, at the age of 56, Sukhanov's life unravels and he… loses everything he holds dear - job, son, daughter, possibly wife - but through the pain, in a series of dream sequences in which he confronts his past, he gains truth about his father's life and death, and about decisions made between art and love. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2005.
