| Summary: | Est-Ouest highlights a little-explored facet of modern Russian history: in 1946, Stalin offered amnesty to all Russian emigrants throughout the world who wanted to return to their homeland and participate in the postwar rebuilding of their nation. The film tells the story of the Russian-born doctor Alexei Golovine (Menchikov) and his French wife Marie (Bonnaire), who respond to this appeal. Instantly, upon arrival, however, it is made horrendously apparent that the experience is going to be quite different than what they had expected. |
