The story

After leaving her abusive alcoholic husband, Lena lives in Vladivostok, Soviet Union, with her young son, nicknamed Potato. The boy often escapes into fantastical reality of his own imaginary film – for example, picturing his parents doing an acrobatic Apache dance when they are actually fighting. At school, Potato finds himself rebelling against waning communist ideology, where a living portrait of Vladimir Lenin literally watches the kids as they take a class photo.
