Film Synopsis
In the year 2008, Marta undertakes a long train journey through the
countries of the former Eastern Bloc. Her destination is
Moscow, a city that continues to haunt her and which she
could never have escaped from whilst the tanks were still there. By
speaking with the people she meets in this post-Soviet country, she
recalls all the difficult times she endured when, in the early 1980s, she left Prague
and moved to Paris. As she reflects on the past and the present, Marta comes to see
that this new East is not her home...
