After his plane crashes in Siberia, a Russian dancer, who defected to the West, is held prisoner in the Soviet Union. The KGB keeps him under watch and tries to convince him to become a dancer for the Kirov Academy of Ballet again. Determined to escape, he befriends a black American expatriate and his pregnant Russian wife, who agree to help him escape to the American Embassy.
A tense, romantic drama about the struggle for freedom against oppressive forces. It blends the beauty of ballet with the desperation of escape, set against a stark, unforgiving backdrop. The performances carry a palpable sense of longing and defiance.
