In 1937, silent film star Maria Leiko travels to USSR upon learning of the birth of her granddaughter.

Leiko abandons her cinema career to instead join Skatuve, the Latvian State Theatre in Moscow. Soon she discovers that she is being manipulated by the government amid its purges of political enemies.
