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.
