Engineer Axel Blomgren from Sweden has been employed at the Nobel Brothers Oil Field in Baku in 1910. The film is based on Axel's Diaries cross-cut with the story of how the Nobel brothers built an oil empire in the late 1800s. We follow Axel Blomgren until everything is confiscated by the communists in 1920 and Axel escapes home to Sweden.
