Recap

A kaleidoscope of events from the life of the world-famous, charismatic Ukrainian artist Kazimir Malevych, who stood alone against the Soviet authorities in his fight for the right to create “free” art. For his competitors, his works were a fraud; for the Soviet authorities, a secret code; for one woman, a declaration of love; and for the people of Ukraine, a prophecy.
