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...
