"The Role" is about a brilliant actor in revolutionary Russia who takes
on the greatest role of his life -- the role of another man. Influenced
by the ideas of symbolism and the Silver Age, he decides to slip into
the life of his doppelganger - a revolutionary leader in the new Soviet
Russia. First intrigued, then obsessed, he flings himself into the role
and lives it to the hilt... even when the play of the life he is writing
heads towards a tragic finale. Based on true incidents in the lives of
Russia's symbolists, this gripping film explores how far one man will go
for the role of a lifetime.
