Guests and hosts of Leo Tolstoy's family estate, Yasnaya Polyana, testify to how photographers came to them to "take portraits" of Leo Tolstoy and his household. How did the efforts of those who came end, and what is a "photographers' attack"? Was the blue blouse in which Tolstoy first appeared in Prokudin-Gorsky's color photograph blue? The filmmakers expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece Rashomon, presenting the same events in Yasnaya Polyana through the eyes of famous contemporaries of the great Russian writer.
