| On the night of 16-17 June 1918, without any court case or investigation, Czar Nikolai II, his family and some of the people closest to them were assassinated in Yekaterinburg. Several decades on, an "eyewitness", at one time a prison inmate and now a long-term resident at a psychiatric hospital, believes he assassinated the czar, and recounts the events of that terrible night. - Official member of the Cannes Film Festival main contest, France (1991) - Grand Prize at the International Film Festival, Belgrade (1991) - "Nika" Award for Best Costume Designer (Romanova, V.)
