Opis

Rome, Italy, in the summer of 1978: the Krasnansky family have emigrated from Riga, Latvia, joining the other 'refuseniks' as they await passage to their new homes in the West. But when their sponsor in the USA lets them down, they find they're no longer just passing through. On the contrary - they're stuck where they are.
