Caroline, a young American, is interested in the life story of a russian mariner Sergei, who escaped from the Soviet Union to the US, where he asked for political asylum and became a religious activist, publishing numerous accounts of terrifying life 'behind the iron curtain' until he died a strange death in a hotel room in the US. Inspired by such a fascinating story, Caroline travels to Russia to find places and acquaintances of Sergey and to learn more about the life of believers in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia. To her great surprise, she learns that many of Sergey's stories were invented and that the truth about him and his life is not easy to unravel. |
