This is an interesting yet bizarre little tale of a fictional as far as I know, anyway experiment performed during the Stalincontrolled years in the USSR The main character is changed from a woman into a man This is part of a larger plan to change more women into men and have a stronger workforcearmy, etc It's a very indepth character study of the main character, who tries to fit into a world that she now 'he' doesn't really understand, especially since she's now a man Stalin dislikes the results of the experiments and has the scientist killed The main character then goes off to live a life as a simple, unknown everyday Soviet, but is inexplicably drawn into larger and larger schemes somewhat reminiscent of Forrest Gump in that way sHe has runins with different important characters, including his exboyfriend from his days of being a woman, as well as going on a demented quest for the nurse with whom he possibly fell in love after the operation However, he is trapped in his life as an important Soviet married man, and in the end makes a huge sacrifice for his country unwillingly, and the movie goes from there to an ending that is possibly happy, yet still somehow incredibly depressing
