Synopsis:
A story about growing up in the Soviet Union, in a witty, provoking narrative documentary. "The film tells the story of a strange kind of information war, where a totalitarian regime stands face to face with the heroes of popular culture. And loses. It was a time when it was possible for erotic film star Emmanuelle to bring down the Red Army and MacGyver to outdo an entire school administration. It is a film about our generation, who were unknowingly brought to the front line of the Cold War. Our brains were bombed with television waves. This completely changed our whole lives", says the director. Western popular culture had an incomparable role shaping Soviet children's worldviews in those days. Finnish television was a window to a world of dreams that the authorities could not block in any way. Though Finnish channels were banned, many households found some way to access the forbidden fruit.
