The ever watchful guards of the party ideology and agencies begin to pursue these "ideological subversives". Underneath the fictional story of the uncensored photoalbum "Say Cheese" is the true story of the famous literary almanac "Metropol", the authors of which threatened one of the cornerstones of the regime: censorship.
