From Malevich’s “Black Square” to “Black Dog of St. Petersburg” — this is how DDT and filmmaker Sergei Kuznetsov defines the boundaries of the short 20th century. All the characters in the film are the heroes of DDT’s songs. Each episode is one track and one unique artistic method. The live‑action episodes alternate with chronicles, fragments of documentary films — both classic and little‑known — as well as with animation.
In Nikolskoye village of Ruzsky district, farmers decided to restore the production of the first natural cheese of the Russian Empire. The tradition of making baked cheese dates back to 1795. The first cheese, named "Meschersky", was made in the home of Prince Meschersky in his estate of Lotochino. The sign of the village of Lotochina represents until now a merchant with a cheese wheel on a board. The prince had then brought from Switzerland a cheese maker named Johan Müller who developed a cheese recipe, founded a cheese-making school and settled in Russia with his family. Today, we managed to find his descendants; they live and work in the Alps. And make cheese. Very similar to the famous "Meschersky".
