Plot summary
Maria Leiko is a star of the silent screen. In 1937 she learns that a granddaughter has been born in the Soviet Union, and she travels there. The birth brings tragic circumstances, and agents of the KGB persuade her to remain in the country. Leiko gives up the cinema and joins Skatuve, the Latvian state theater in Moscow. Stalin's government is purging political enemies, and informers and NKVD agents are around her. She must weigh her family against her career, and her ideals against the falsehoods of Stalin's regime.
