Two men. Not soldiers. Not heroes. Just dancers. Willing to risk their lives for freedom-and each other.
Overview
After his plane crashes in Siberia, a Russian dancer, who defected to the West, is held prisoner in the Soviet Union. The KGB keeps him under watch and tries to convince him to become a dancer for the Kirov Academy of Ballet again.
