"Yura the Musician" is a profound documentary about the legend of Russian rock, the founder and leader of the famous Russian DDT band, Yuri Shevchuk.
Shooting went on for 11 years from 2007 to 2018. The film crew followed the band in several tours over Russia, visited the studio and went to a countryside home of Shevchuk, where he writes poetry. The documentary includes shooting at live performances, backstage, studio works and rehearsals.
Dozens of hours of archive footage illustrate the most interesting, important and dangerous moments of the band and its leader.
The film contains fragments of conversations between Yuri Shevchuk and the author of the film Pavel Selin over the years, reflections of the Poet about the past, present and future of Russia and the world.
