The film is divided into three stories, each associated with one of the three main ideologies of the 20th Century: Fascism, Communism & Liberalism. The main theme of this feature- 90 minute film, the exploitation of art for political ideology, is expressed by the personal and ideological conflicts between three artists and their mentors. A Hitler youth is apprentice painter engaged in the production of tank decoys; A Chinese Red Guard ballet dancer confronts the communist hierarchical order through her dance; A NY film maker uses the symbol of freedom to sell her publicity; Three stories... three utopias systematically suppressed by reality.
