Marc Dugain
Drama
Summary
In the autumn of 1952, a young woman doctor is working at a hospital in
the suburbs of Moscow. She is desperate to become pregnant by her
husband, a disillusioned physicist whose only reason for living is the
love he has for his wife. The doctor is distressed when she
receives a summons to attend to the Soviet leader Josef Stalin, who is
close to death. Despite his infirmity, the ruthless
dictator has lost none of his guile or perverse cruelty, as the young
doctor discovers when she unwittingly becomes both his confidant and
his victim...
