Plot synopsis
his film is about the tragedy of a great artist under Soviet ideological pressure. Alexander Dovzhenko was a top Russian film producer and director during Stalin’s era. He was awarded two Stalin Prizes. His last movie “Goodbye America!” (1951) was based on the book by Annabelle Bucar, an American diplomat who decided to stay in the Soviet Union with her loved one. This movie was the last attempt of the great film-director to break up the Soviet ideological frames and create a true love story full of drama. The film was a complete fiasco for Dovzhenko.
