Synopsis
In 1938, young diligent Captain Fyodor Volkonogov of the Soviet National Security Service witnesses his colleagues being re-evaluated and disappearing. Terrified he will be next, Fyodor makes a run for it, and is soon being hunted through the city by his former colleagues. A visitation from a dead comrade convinces him that only the forgiveness of a former victim can save him from eternal damnation, and so begins an almost Dickensian tale of desperate redemption, in Stalin’s Russia.
