Description

In 1933, Leningrad faces one of its most crushing moments. Loyalties, beliefs and love are put to the test as families struggle to survive. For Boris Ivanov, politics and pragmatism take precedence, while his daughter Natasha's carefree nature is threatened by the compromises she must make. Against this backdrop, a young orphan finds himself saved by Anton, an old friend of Boris', on a Moscow train. Meanwhile, Irina watches over the scene with wry wisdom, understanding that loyalty to an individual can be more powerful than blind loyalty to an idea. As tensions rise, the bonds between these characters are stretched to their limits, forcing them to confront the true meaning of survival and what it means to stand by those they love.
