故事发生在1946年，满目疮痍的土地尚未从刚刚远去的战争阴霾下复原，斯大林宣布赦免在战争期间逃往国外的俄国人，因此，艾利克斯（欧列格·米契柯夫 Oleg Menshikov 饰）便带着法国妻子玛丽（桑德里娜·伯奈尔 Sandrine Bonnaire 饰）和儿子回到了祖国的怀抱。 　　哪知道一家人刚回来没多久，就迎来了铁幕时代，政府声称归国的外侨中，九成都是敌方派来的特务，遂对他们展开了严酷的调查。在巨大的压力之下，主张委曲求全的艾利克斯和想要踏上逃亡旅途的玛丽之间产生了严重的分歧，最终，玛丽遭到了逮捕被关进了集中营，一晃眼就是六年过去。六年后，玛丽回到了艾利克斯的身旁，然而，曾经那个睿智灵动的女人早已经不复存在，有的只是伤痕累累的驱壳和脆弱黑暗的内心。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. By chance, she meets a touring French actress and pleads for help. She also takes a young swimmer under her wing, and several years later, he makes a bold attempt to escape. Meanwhile, the KGB is suspicious, and hope for freedom is dim. Patience, her husband's self control, and her good looks may be their only assets.
