Made in wartime and edited in candlelight, Mikhail Vartanov's rarely-seen masterpiece tells about his friendship with the genius Sergei Parajanov who was imprisoned by KGB "at the peak of his artistic power".

Vartanov's camera documents Parajanov's striking last day at work in 1990 during the making of the unfinished Confession.
