Description:
This is a true story of several generations of one family that experienced one of the greatest evils committed by Stalin's totalitarian regime – the forced mass deportations from Soviet-occupied Latvia to Siberia in 1941 and 1949. The stories of the people subjected to the deportations are inherently similar – the individuals may be different, yet the time, place, sense of impunity, and experience of dehumanisation remain the same. In the great swaths of frozen Siberia, the ones that managed to survive were those, who retained in their hearts a love for humanity and enduring faith in the miracle of returning home.
