Emily Watson delivers an incredibly strong performance as Genia. Set in the mid-30's USSR, just as Stalin's paranoia begins to terrorize a nation. Professor Eugenia Ginsburg has everything - Prestigious teaching post, connected husband, great kids & elite Party Membership. But unexpectedly, everything good goes bad and she finds herself on the wrong side of Marx. . In the ensuing nightmare, Genia's strength & integrity sustain her & those around her to survive unspeakable cruelty & savagery. Great story, great script & great romance. Best movie I've seen in quite a while (even though it's 10+ years old)
