Inspired by the Soviet pioneers of 1920s noise music Dziga Vertov and Arseny Avraamov, whom he considers to be the true fathers of noise music, Papa Srapa is a grouchy sixty-year-old anarchist who likes to smash theories about music genres. After four decades of experimentation under the influence of alcohol, he is now perceived by his peers as the great electronic shaman of the Russian underground scene. Which does not please him. With the help of numerous images of improbable performances, directors Ivanov and Kabardin have managed - so much the better - to paint a portrait of this gruff artist who is quicker to demolish journalists' cameras than to grant them interviews.
