The story of the life of the outstanding scientist, one of the leading figures in world psychology and pedagogy, Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (1896 — 1934).

Moscow, 1934. At the twilight of his life, sensing his imminent departure, Lev Vygotsky, at the insistence of his close ones, agrees to several psychoanalytic sessions with the grand dame of world psychology, a disciple of Freud and Jung, Sabina Spielrein. Adhering to largely opposing views, the two great scientists attempt to answer each other's main question of their time — is there a method that allows for the upbringing of a "new person"?

The filming will take place in the city of Moscow and in the Moscow region.
