East/West (1999)

Directed by Régis Wargnier

“An unforgettable story of love, betrayal and survival.”

Drama, Romance · 2h 01m

June 1946: Stalin invites Russian emigres to return to the motherland. It's a trap: when a ship-load from France arrives in Odessa, only a physician and his family are spared execution or prison. He and his French wife (her passport ripped up) are sent to Kiev. She wants to return to France immediately; he knows that they are captives and must watch every step.
