Riveting tale of finding a morally acceptable means of defying an unspeakable evil. True to life, the main characters do not always make the right choices. Every character represents another "voice" pulling the main character through the trial and tribulations of a modern day Moses. Accents sometimes slip a bit, but using real Russian and German, etc lends a wonderful feel of genuine character.
