  This film is about the life of a composer creating in the darkness of a tragic era. A life full of contradictions: Was Aram Khachaturian playing the fool for Stalinism or composing music that cried out against its evils? Was he a Soviet favourite musical son or a sacrificial lamb? A loyal subject of the Kremlin or secret dissident? An Armenian composer rooted to his heritage or the New Socialist Man? Like most Soviet citizens Khachaturian his a complex private life behind a mask of Communist loyalty.
