June 1946. With the end of WWII, Stalin invites Russian emigres to return home and help rebuild the motherland. Alexie and his French wife arrive, full of hope, but their illusions are quickly shattered. They are spared execution only because Alexei is a doctor and therefore useful to the state, but he knows that they must watch their every step. East/West is a dramatic epic with a sensational cast.
