Synopsis:

***WARNING***French & multi-lingual audio with English subtitles***1979. Carole and Jerome are 20 and go on an organised trip to Odessa, behind the Iron Curtain. They're cousins but pretend they're engaged. In the day, simple tourists, they visit monuments and museums. In the evening, they slip away from the group and secretly meet "refuseniks", Jews persecuted by the Soviet regime for wanting to leave the country. They discover an underground world, cruel and absurd. While Carole is motivated by political commitment and a taste for risk, for Jerome, the real motivation behind this trip is Carole.

Jérôme Berkowicz and Carole Brikerman go through customs to enter the USSR. They're cousins, both aged 18, and they'd look like the perfect young couple on an organized trip if it wasn't for their incongruous raincoats and the sweat running down Jérôme's face. Inside their clothes are hidden pockets full of books, key rings, chocolate and medication. If Jérôme, so different from Carole, wasn't secretly in love with her, he would never have followed her into this. 'Hello, we are friends from France', they whisper in the evenings in phone booths. Their mission is to make clandestine contact with and bring help to Soviet Jews who face persecution - the 'RefuZeniks'.
