Synopsis
History of the “corn campaign” realized by Khrushev in the 50s is represented in the style of the Soviet propaganda films. The author of the film with great irony tells about main stages of that campaign. As a result – for a long time USSR has been exported even bread. The film is composed from chronicles of the 1950-1990s. When the pensioner who devoted 25 years of his life to growing of the frost-resistant maize succeeded, the USSR did not exist any more.
