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.
East/West is a 1999 drama about a Russian physician and his French wife trapped in post-Stalin Soviet Ukraine after being deceived into returning from exile. Directed by Régis Wargnier, the film explores their desperate struggle for freedom as captives in a totalitarian state, balancing survival against the wife's determination to escape.
