🎬 Two Prosecutors: Soviet Union, 1937: the newly graduated, idealistic Alexander Kornyev has taken up a post as a public prosecutor. It is the time of the Great Purge; all (alleged) opponents of the Stalinist regime are being arrested, imprisoned and often executed. Many of these prisoners send letters pleading their innocence, but as a rule these letters are intercepted and destroyed. By chance, one such letter reaches Korneev, sent by Stepniak, once a loyal member of the Communist Party. This Stepniak claims that there is corruption within the NKVD, the Soviet Union’s secret service. Korniev decides to visit the prisoner; he wants to reopen the case. That decision will cost him dearly.
