kolya rodchenko is a soviet dancer who has been a refugee in the united states for years. a mechanical failure forces the plane on which it is flying to japan to land in siberia. here the russian secret service, in the person of the ambiguous chaiko, holds him back with the aim of pointing him out, for example, as a repentant fugitive. the kgb forces raymond greenwood, a black american dancer who lives in russia since the american intervention in vietnam, to spy on kolya's movements. between the two the inevitable confrontation, also on an artistic level, gradually turns into a bond of friendship.
