Opening Night! U.S. Premiere!
Directors Philippe Kotlarski and Anne Weil in person for Q&A!
Set in 1979, in the midst of the Cold War, young French cousins join an organized tour to Odessa, visiting monuments and museums by day, but slipping away into the underground world of ”refuseniks”—Jews persecuted by the Soviet regime—by night.

French singer/actress Soko delivers a spellbinding performance as the darkly intense Carole.
