Film Synopsis
In 1979, Carole and Jérôme set out on a package tour to
Odessa, the historic seaport behind the Iron Curtain. Both are in
their early twenties and are cousins, but they pretend they are engaged
to be married. By day, they pass themselves off as tourists,
visiting the famous museums and monuments. By night, they slip
away from their group and have secret meetings with Refuseniks, Jews who
are persecuted by the Soviet regime. Carole and
Jérôme discover an unknown world that is both brutal and
absurd...
