Synopsis

Leningrad, 1970. A group of young Soviet Jews who were denied exit visas, plots to hijack an empty plane and escape the USSR.

It started as a fantasy; under the disguise of a trip to a local wedding, the “hijackers” would buy every ticket on a 12-seater plane, so there would be no passengers but them.
Seized by the KGB just a few steps from boarding, they were subjected to a chilling show trial, while the whole world watched.
But they remained undaunted. Most of the group received lengthy sentences in the Gulag.

The pilot and group leader received a one-word sentence: death.

45 years later, filmmaker Anat Zalmanson-Kuznetsov reveals the compelling story of her parents, leaders of the group, “heroes” in the West but “terrorists” in Russia, even today.
