1979. Carole and Jerome are 20 years old and go on an organized trip to Odessa, behind the Iron Curtain. They are cousins, but pretend they are engaged. During the day, as simply tourists, they visit monuments and museums. In the evening, they slip away from the group and secretly meet “refuseniks”, Jews persecuted by the Soviet regime for wanting to leave the country. While Carole is motivated by political commitment and a taste for risk, for Jérôme, the real motivation behind this trip is Carole.
