1915. Europe is engulfed in the fire of the First world war. At this time, the theorist of the revolution, political emigre and adventurer Alexander Parvus is negotiating with the Minister of foreign Affairs of Germany, Gottlieb von Yagov. The negotiations lead to unexpected success. The German government allocates personally to Parvus "considerable money" which have to go for revolution in Russia. From this begins a story that tells not only about the life of this extraordinary man and his role in the historical events that ended in October 1917. Equally important characters of the film will be Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who managed thanks to the efforts of Parvus time to return to Russia to lead the revolution, as well as the agent of the Imperial counterintelligence Alexei Mezentsev, risking his life in order to prevent the inevitable end of one era and the beginning of a new one.
