To Garbo and Lenin

Synopsis: 

What if two of the most well known icons of the twentieth century had met?

In this film Greta Garbo and Vladimir Lenin meet in Stockholm 1917 and spend a day together.
They both have lost a dream, and they start a conversation that remains all day while they are walking through the city.
A blend between historical facts and fantasy in a mixed technique about two people before they become icons and their dreams before they come true.
