Leo, an MGB officer, is a guy who always follows the Party Line. Whoever he is instructed to arrest, he does so. He does what he is taught and disregards the horrifying death of a little child because he subscribes to the Party line that no murder is possible in communist Russia. Leo is the regime's ideal soldier. However, all of a sudden, he loses faith that everything he does is for the greater good. He is forced to witness the gruesome torture of a guy he knows to be innocent. Then he gets the order to detain his own spouse. Leo is aware of how the State operates: we should trust but also be sure to check, especially on those we may trust. He must decide between his life and his wife. And yet, children are being killed...
