Outraged by the controversy about "what to do" with Lenin's body, displayed in a mausoleum in Moscow, the Portuguese gardener Carmo Miranda went on a sobriety strike. For four days and five nights, he drank vodka in a bar in Coimbra, Portugal. During meetings, he reassessed his life. Between dreams and deliriums, the appearance of a bearded figure and grave voice (God, Socrates or Marx?) ordered him to go to Russia to rescue the body of the Soviet leader.
He conscripted two of his friends to join the expedition, and he invited an immigrated Russian hairdresser to act as an interpreter. They crossed several European countries in a purple car, heading for Moscow. And then... A tale of utopia, ethics, and love.
