Hermitage-Niks: A Passion for the Hermitage — Storyline
HERMITAGE-NIKS–the five-part, in-depth series version of THE HERMITAGE DWELLERS– is not necessarily about the art that resides in the world renowned museum, but about the people who work in the Hermitage.
These "Hermitage-Niks" all have their own very personal reasons for considering the palace of Catharine the Great their "home." For them, it is a safe haven that quite literally has managed to keep the tumultuous Russian 20th century history outside its walls: from the Revolution, the terror of Stalin, WWII, the harsh post-Soviet years – all these events have left their mark on the museum. What starts out as a playful kaleidoscope of people and events in the museum gradually unfolds into a poignant account of how the dwellers' pain is transformed by their intimate relationship with a piece of art.
