Storia
Limonov: The Ballad follows Eduard Limonov, a radical Soviet poet who immigrates to New York after being imprisoned in the USSR for his provocative writings. In America, he struggles as an immigrant and turns to criminal activities to survive. His life takes a dramatic turn when he moves to France where his literary talent gains recognition, earning him fame and fortune. However, Limonov's anti-establishment views and controversial lifestyle make him a polarizing figure in both literary circles and political arenas. The film chronicles his journey from prison to Paris, detailing his relationships with fellow immigrants, his lover Ella, and his eventual return to Russia where he becomes an anti-hero of sorts.
