"So, they take you away. During a daytime arrest, there's always a fleeting moment, a moment that won't come again, when, even stealthily, out of sort of fearful convention, or else openly, with pistols out of their holsters, you're taken through a crowd of people just as innocent as you are, just as irremediably doomed. And they haven't gagged you, and you have the chance — which you must absolutely take — to scream. To shout that you've been arrested. That hooligans in disguise are on a manhunt. So why did I remain silent?" In February, 1945, the fate of Alexandre Solzhenitsyn took a dramatic turn. The writer he had always wanted to be was born. The film shows us a writer who is a true product of this century, who experienced communism and its collapse. A Russian destiny.
