Not by Bread Alone (2005) is set against the backdrop of post-WW2 reconstruction in Russia, where a bald-headed technocrat named Drozhdov views communism as a means to elevate the common man above the perceived arrogance of genius. Meanwhile, a devoted scientist, Lopatkin, finds sanctuary in Moscow with the eccentric and brilliant elderly inventor, Busko. Lopatkin's relentless dedication to his invention leads him on a tumultuous journey marked by rejection, acceptance, and the theft of his ideas, particularly by his adversary, Drozhdov. Drozhdov's wife, Natasha, feeling estranged from her distant and domineering husband, becomes increasingly captivated by Lopatkin, whom she had known when they were both educators. Eventually, Natasha leaves her husband and joyfully takes care of the two absent-minded former professors, Lopatkin and Busko. Natasha is prepared to offer Lopatkin her life, love, and faith, while Lopatkin is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his invention and his country.
