Like a ghost with a digital camera, an unidentified filmmaker finds himself in the Hermitage in St Petersburg in the early 1700s. As he glides through the elaborate palace admiring the fabulous works of art, he meets The Marquis (Sergey Dreiden) the only figure who can see or communicate with him; he turns out to be a cynical French diplomat (surprised at his own sudden ability to speak Russian). As the two men take a physical and occasionally time-jumping tour of the imperial court of old Russia, they are witnesses to a myriad examples of life under the Tsars. They also exchange often wryly acidic opinions (often about Russia's cultural place in or out of Europe) as they observe a unique world of art and history unfolding through the centuries, until the last Great Royal Ball of 1913, on the eve of the revolution.
