The film tells about the work of Oleg Kulik, an artist and curator, one of the most famous representatives of contemporary Russian art in the world. In the center of the tape is the story of the formation of the artist–actionist. The film is constructed as a monologue, which gives the hero a unique opportunity to analyze his own creativity, his own path in art.

Young actionist artists Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Samutsevich decide to separate from the well-known actionist group Voina. They feel pressure of male participants of the group. They decide to create their own group that would express their ideas of female independence and liberty. That's how the Pussy Riot is born, combining actionism, feminism, media activism and punk rock.
