Soviet Union, 1937. Thousands of letters from prisoners wrongly accused by the regime are burned in a prison cell. Against all odds, one of them arrives at its destination, on the desk of the newly appointed local prosecutor, Alexander Kornev.
He struggles to meet the prisoner, victim of corrupt agents of the secret police, the NKVD. A seasoned Bolshevik with integrity, the young prosecutor believes there's a malfunction. His quest for justice leads him to the Prosecutor-General's office in Moscow.
At the time of the great Stalinist purges, this is one man's plunge into a totalitarian regime that does not speak its name.Soviet Comedies
