The film was originally intended to mark the 50th birthday of Tarkovsky in 1982, which would have been before his death.

Ce documentaire est un portrait en deux parties autour de l’écrivain et dissident russe Alexandre Soljenitsyne, auteur de célèbres nouvelles sur la révolution et le système concentrationnaire russe, dont le fameux "Archipel du Goulag" et "la journée d’Ivan Denissovitch". L'univers intérieur d'Alexandre Soljenitsyne (né en 1918), prix Nobel de littérature en 1970, le dernier des grands écrivains engagés, à qui l'on doit l'universalité du mot « goulag ». Sokourov, avec une équipe réduite, fut le premier à être accueilli dans la maison de Soljenitsyne, près de Moscou, pour discuter avec l'écrivain et sa femme. Entretenant souvent la polémique, Soljenitsyne dialogue avec Sokourov sur la langue et la littérature russes, sur le folklore et le sens d'une œuvre de création, sur l'histoire et les temps modernes.

The film combines clips from Tarkovsky's films with footage of Tarkovsky on the set of his last film The Sacrifice and on his deathbed, during the final stage of his battle with cancer. The film mostly relies on images, with only sparse commentary, and concentrates mainly on giving insight into Tarkovsky's work and philosophy and on exploring the intersections between his private life and his work. The film starts with a scene from Tarkovsky first film Ivan's Childhood and ends with a parallel scene from his last film The Sacrifice. It shows the reunion of Tarkovsky with his son Andrei Jr., who had been allowed to leave the Soviet Union only after Tarkovsky was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Apart from Andrei Tarkovsky himself the film shows, among others, his second wife Larisa Tarkovskaya, his son Andrei Jr., the editor of the film The Sacrifice Michal Leszczylowski, the French actress Valérie Mairesse, the Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist and the Russian actress Margarita Terekhova.

The film is the equivalent of a walk through a cinema museum. The doc interviews many modern-day directors of photography and they illustrate via examples their best work and the scenes from films that influenced them to pursue their art.

Lars von Trier prétend que le court-métrage Det perfekte menneske de Jørgen Leth sorti en 1967 est son film préféré. Dans le but de lui rendre hommage, mais d'une manière perverse, à la fois manipulatrice et créatrice, il propose à l'auteur du film original, son compatriote Jørgen Leth, de détruire et de reconstruire autrement ce court-métrage. Il défie Leth d'en tourner cinq remakes. Pour chaque projet, il lui impose de nouvelles « obstructions », consignes, restrictions, interdictions plus ou moins arbitraires, l'obligeant à repenser l'histoire, l'esthétique et les personnages de son film. Il s'ensuit à chaque épreuve un feed back entre les deux hommes où Lars von Trier, dans une sorte de position de « directeur de conscience », à la limite de l'humiliation, semble prendre à cœur de déconstruire et détruire ce que Jørgen Leth a réalisé.

The narrator (whose point of view is always in first-person) meets another spectral but visible outsider, "the European", and follows him through numerous rooms of the palace. Each room manifests a different period of Russian history, but the periods are not in chronological order.
