Description

Ilsa is the head of a Stalinist gulag during the final years of Stalin’s rule, where political prisoners are subjected to brutal treatment. After the collapse of the regime, she destroys the camp and disappears into the snow. Years later she reappears in 1977 Montreal as the madame of a brothel, where a visiting Soviet hockey team brings her face to face with former prisoner Andrei Chikurin.
