Logline
Art is in the eyes of the beholder. A non-exhaustive story of reconstruction of GES-2 in a non-chronological order, in Nine Chapters, Three Appendices and One Karaoke.

Synopsis
V–A–C Foundation (the owner - Russian oligarch, one of the richest men in Russia, according to Forbes in 2021, Leonid Mikhelson) acquired the 20,000 sq. m former power plant, GES-2 in the center of Moscow right in front of the Kremlin, tasking the Renzo Piano Building Workshop with its transformation into a cultural institution.

Over the five years, the cameras followed the construction works along with the cultural initiatives of the Foundation. An unconventional non-chronological documentary film that follows the reconstruction process of the former power plant GES-2 into a new cultural institution. An attempt to question the essence of contemporary art and art in itself.
