What is Connected about?

The film chronicles the final journey of 88-year-old Russian former top-secret scientist and philanthropist Dmitriy Zimin, alongside his longtime American friend Augie Fabela, acting US police officer, before Zimin’s scheduled euthanasia. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions between Putin’s Russia and the USA and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the film captures the closing scenes of a life and a time of peace. Zimin’s story is an embodiment of the harsh historical cycles that have defined Russia over the past century.
