About
June 1946: Stalin invites Russian emigres to return to the motherland. It's a trap: when a ship-load from France arrives in Odessa, only a physician and his family are spared execution or prison. He and his French wife (her passport ripped up) are sent to Kiev. She wants to return to France immediately; he knows that they are captives and must watch every step.
The rigid, paranoid atmosphere of Stalinist Ukraine clashes violently with the sun-drenched memories of a French life left behind. This survival story pivots on the suffocating tension between a woman's desperate longing for home and a man's calculated effort to stay alive.
