There are things that 12-year old Yuri knows: being food-taster for the Soviet leader requires him to drink too much vodka, it’s a crime to love your family more than Socialism and that everyone thinks Yuri is a fool. But he's starting to get the hang of this politics thing, although there's so much to learn. A cutting satire, told through the voice of one gutsy boy who will not give up on hope.
