Stewardess #1
Cuando el avión donde viaja Nikolai "Kolya" Rodchenko debe realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia en suelo soviético, el mundialmente famoso bailarín tiene razones para sentirse inquieto: unos años antes, cuando era la gran estrella del ballet ruso y un icono de la propaganda comunista, Kolya desertó y se instaló en los Estados Unidos. Ahora, contra su voluntad, vuelve a un país cuyo gobierno le considera un traidor.
Stage Manager
Alex Rodak (Michael York) is a Polish director in exile in London with his family, which includes an older teenage son Adam (Michael Lyndon) who is struggling with an identity crisis, his wife (Joanna Szerzerbic), and another son. Rodak is in the throes of putting together a major show about Poland and the politics of exile at a West End theater. His single-minded determination to succeed causes him to take advantage of others, and because of his need for backing, he turns to a low-life businessman (John Hurt) to bail him out. His wife is anything but happy about his behavior and dislikes this last decision even more. This is an interesting study of how a father and son become alienated in a conflict between cultural identity and its exploitation.
