Plot synopsis

Vladimir Krasovsky, born into a family of "beyaz ruslar" (White Russians), the nickname given to White Russian émigrés in Constantinople, became the Turkish boxing champion in 1948. Boris Krasovsky, Vladimir's father, a White Guard officer originally from Yekaterinburg, evacuated Crimea to Istanbul after the White Army's defeat in 1920, and fate decreed that he would remain there forever. Part of the family remained in Russia, and ties between relatives were severed for 98 years. Until his death, Vladimir Krasovsky yearned to return to Russia, which he knew only from his father's stories. But almost a century later, an incredible event upends the lives of the family's descendants.
