Synopsis
Aleksander Sokurov brings the treasures of the Hermitage back into the light by making films about artists and their paintings. Here he explores painter Hubert Robert, who spent a long time in Italy and whose preference was for creating ancient ruined landscapes and naturalistic portrayals of times past. The camera pans across the paintings while Sokurov speaks of a happy era, when the artist was at one with the spirit of the times.
