Three women are the protagonists of “Burning bright in the forest of the night”. A professor teaches seminars on the Russian Revolution at the university and is confronted with the fact that revolutionary thoughts have not played any role in her life for a long time. A revolutionary who was part of the guerrilla struggles in South America for many years returns to her birthplace in Europe, where everyday life has become unfamiliar to her. The journalist of a political television programme celebrates a promotion by taking a trip to the north of Argentina, where descendants of Russian emigrants who had fled the 1917 Revolution work as sex workers for women from the middle class. A cinematic narrative style connects the different stories to one another. How can political ideals be translated into ordinary life today? Which ideas from the Russian Revolution still apply today? What effects have they had on present-day Argentina?
