Teremin

The film chronicles Theremin's groundbreaking contributions to electronic music through his invention of the thereminvox. It captures his success in America from 1928 to 1938, highlighting his sold-out concerts and acclaim in high society.

As the narrative unfolds, viewers witness Theremin's dramatic fall from grace following the Wall Street crash, leading to personal upheavals. His return to the USSR in 1938 is shrouded in mystery, and the film portrays his survival of Stalin’s Magadan labor camp and subsequent work for Soviet secret services. The story of his life, marked by innovation and adversity, presents a unique perspective on a lesser-known figure in music history.
