LENIN’S PAWN is a hybrid documentary with dark humor following actor Sergiu Voloc, a modern-day Don Quixote whose lonely fight against Lenin monuments across Moldova turns into an absurd confrontation with a system that rebuilds them overnight.

In search of a lost psychotronic weapon, director Dragoș Turea explores the secrets of psychotronic warfare and the USSR's involvement in the development of technologies that used the power of the mind for military purposes. On his journey through Moldova and Ukraine, he discovers a hidden world where scientists and parapsychologists from the former Soviet space were trained in covert experiments that defy the boundaries of reality. The film raises a controversial question: Can the power of thought be transformed into a weapon?
