The story of a genius in the service of the Nazi dictatorship - the biography of the legendary director Leni Riefenstahl as interpreted by playwright Mieko Ouchi and director Oleg Dmitriev. "Blue Light" is an adaptation of the play of the same name by Mieko Ouchi, based on the biography of Leni Riefenstahl. The iconic director, whose influence on the development of cinema is hard to overestimate, is also known as a genius of propaganda cinema and Hitler's "court artist." The ambiguous and complex story of Riefenstahl is presented in "rewind." The centenarian woman sums up her long life, recalls her triumph, inextricably linked to the rise of the Nazi dictatorship, and reflects on her relationships with other "dark geniuses" - Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels. The recipient of Leni's revelations becomes Helen, a film producer, whose image reflects that of the young Riefenstahl.
