David Novack, USA/FRANCE/RUSSIA
Cast: Liev Schreiber, Andrei Malaev-Babel, Antonina Pirojkova
75 years after iconic Soviet writer Isaac Babel's wrongful execution, his grandson comes closer to the elusive truths of his heritage. Andrei Malaev-Babel confronts lingering traces of a turbulent history that echo in his grandfather's subversive writing brought to life by Liev Schreiber, and in the conflicts of today’s post-Soviet borders. Babel’s life story and his fiction are woven into Andrei’s search with ethereal animation that puts viewers, like Babel’s readers, somewhere between fantasy and reality.!
