Two characters grow simultaneously, from two different directions - two epic threads
Two characters grow simultaneously, from two different directions - two epic threads. The first follows Irina Petcu, the daughter of a Securitate boss as she escapes through Greece, in the seventies, to the United States; the second describes Thomas Cope, second generation American, of Polish descent. The two meet on American soil and demonstrate that beyond a certain level of ambition, compromise is both unavoidable and fatal...Thomas gets dirty as well, but - the advantage of the capitalist - not that much. Just enough to prove that he is not a ‘vegetarian’... Actually, can one escape communism?
