Egyptian (1989)

A film about an amazing artist, Mikhail Mikhailovich Potapov from Solikamsk, who paints portraits of Egyptian pharaohs and considers himself the eldest daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who lived more than two thousand years ago and incarnated again... This soft, light film is about how you can survive and not lose yourself in the most difficult circumstances. And behind the figure of elderly artist one can see the fate of many Russian intellectuals, and not only of his generation.
