The film tells about the last days of the Secretary-General's life. Leonid Ilyich tries to enjoy the last pleasures of his life - he goes hunting, communicates with his subordinates, has Breakfast with his wife, watches newsreels for hours. But to escape from the oppressive thoughts he manages only in a dream, which also does not bring relief. In rare hours of wakefulness Brezhnev remembers his youth, acquaintance with his wife, the beginning of his career. Especially painful memories of the conspiracy against Khrushchev, who at one time brought the young Brezhnev and helped him climb the hierarchical ladder. In memory of the Secretary General emerge the main, as it seems to him, the events of his life and the life of the country, he asks himself whether all the decisions and actions were correct and tries to answer them.
