The Soviet Union, 1937. Thousands of letters from detainees falsely accused by the regime are burned in a prison cell. Against all odds, one of them reaches its destination: the desk of the newly appointed local prosecutor, Alexander Kornyev. A dedicated Bolshevik of integrity, the young prosecutor suspects foul play. His quest for justice will take him all the way to the office of the Attorney General in Moscow. 

The new film from Ukrainian master Sergei Loznitsa made a splash in Cannes this year with its sharp and smart writing, the powerful story, and the rare combination of drama, humor and feeling.

Filmography: Process-The Trial (2018), Donbass (2018), A Gentle Creature (2017), In the Fog (2012)
