Dozens of art and documentary projects have been filmed about the life of Peter I, however, disputes over the figure of the last tsar and the first emperor have not subsided to this day. Having ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, the young ruler faced palace intrigues, deceit and betrayal of the people around him face to face. However, all this did not prevent him from taking responsibility for the fate of the people and the vast empire, only increasing its greatness every year. About what it cost him, what sacrifices he had to make, and how he managed to bring a country that no one had particularly considered before to the world leaders is the subject of discussions of historians and experts in other fields. The authors of the film honestly try to answer all these questions, offering to look at the life of the ruler from a different angle.

Complexly staged game scenes of battles performed by famous Russian artists, dramatic moments of the emperor’s life, as well as expert comments and animated inserts organically “get along” in the picture. All this allows not only to visually assess the scale of the events shown, but also emotionally “connect” to the tasks set by Peter I for himself, and to feel the difficulties that the ruler faced on the way to greatness.
