The Russian Daughter

Beschreibung

The Albrechts, a childless couple in Mennnonite village of Friedental, adopt a baby girl and later, twins. As the children grow, they develop in unexpected and individual ways. The children's coming of age and the parents' family-building efforts are backgrounded by growing turbulence in the country. War, revolution, and anarchy threaten the faith and culture of the quiet village and its inhabitants. The five Albrechts face the crisis each with their individual fears, hopes, regrets, and convictions.
