The series tells a striking tale about women’s lives in the Stalinist camps.

The unfolding saga about human kindness and strong spirit facing the most
unimaginable ordeal in the most inhumane conditions sometimes seems
like a horror movie, but it is based on true events. The two main characters
are Olga Pavlova, the wife of an aircraft designer, arrested as the spouse of
the “Enemy of the State” and Sofia Ter-Ashaturova, a famous opera singer,
detained following a denunciation. Fate brought them together in a convict
train. The women fight to preserve their humanity, keep their will to live
and they even find true love in the camp’s horrific conditions.
Completely original and unique, this story will touch everyone’s heart.
