Synopsis:

Zina (Domiziana Giordano) is the daughter of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. When her father is exiled, Zina heads to Berlin in hopes of leading a normal life. Tormented by nightmares, Zina turns to a psychiatrist (Ian McKellan) for aid. The doctor comes to the conclusion that Zina's nocturnal visions are portents for future horrors - specifically the rise of the Nazis. This thought-provoking British film ends with the symbolic death of the ideals set down by the 'visionary' Leon Trotsky.

Zina, the daughter of Leon Trotsky by his first wife, is undergoing freudian analysis in Berlin in the 'thirties. Meanwhile Trotsky is in exile in Prinkipo having been driven from power by Stalin. The Nazis rise to power in Germany and Austria and Zina commits suicide.

Film based on the letters from Leon Trotsky to his daughter Zina, telling of her tragic life in Germany in the period of the rise of Nazism.
