Set
against
the
backdrop
of
WW2,
The
Chronicle
of
the
Versemaker
transcends
the
typical
"war
story"
genre.
Instead,
it
delves
into
themes
of
speaking
truth
to
power,
courage,
and
redemption
during
the
siege
of
Leningrad.
At
its
heart
is
Joseph
Orbeli,
tasked
with
safeguarding
the
cultural
heritage
of
pre-revolutionary
St.
Petersburg
amidst
the
chaos
of
war.
Joining
forces
with
poet
Anna
Akhmatova
and
composer
Dmitri
Shostakovich,
Orbeli
confronts
external
threats
from
an
advancing
German
army
and
internal
challenges
posed
by
a
cash-strapped
Bolshevik
regime
eager
to
sacrifice
art
for
industrialization.
As
the
city
faces
relentless
bombing,
a
long-hidden
chronicle
emerges,
threatening
to
expose
the
dark
secrets
of
Tsarist
and
Bolshevik
rule.
Its
revelation
poses
a
dilemma
for
the
Bolsheviks:
protect
their
propaganda
or
risk
the
destruction
of Leningrad.
