Nick Rooney
Nicholas Rooney, a former diplomat and film Director, carries out a series of seasonal interviews in 2018 with the enigmatic philosopher and adviser to Putin, Alexander Dugin. A man who dreams of overthrowing the current world order and carrying out a tumultuous metaphysical and geopolitical revolution. But, at what price? The film tackles nuclear war, the Skripal spy scandal, the ultimate purpose of life, beauty, faith, democracy, Putin and many other topics. It offers a provocative, philosophical and spiritual take on the modern world and Russia, artistically complemented by haunting paintings, wolf hunts, a mystical ballerina and a burning giant Maslenitsa doll, amongst others.
