Two Prosecutors

Sinopsis

Soviet Union, 1937. Thousands of letters from detainees falsely accused by the regime are burned in a cell. Against all odds, one of them reaches its destination: the desk of the newly appointed local prosecutor, Alexander Kornev. Kornev does everything possible to find the prisoner, a victim of corrupt agents of the secret police, the NKVD. An upright and dedicated Bolshevik, the young prosecutor suspects something illicit. His search for justice will lead him to the Prosecutor General’s Office in Moscow. In the era of the great Stalinist purges, a man immerses himself in the corridors of a regime that does not want to be called totalitarian.
