Mathieu, a dedicated diplomat, accepts a posting to Irkutsk as the head of Siberia`s Alliance Française. He hopes the change will be good for his family and struggling marriage, but before long Mathieu`s staging of cultural events and support of artistic expression sees him fall afoul of local authorities. Accused of a terrible crime, he soon realises someone has fabricated a case with Russia`s Federal Security Service; he has been framed. Arrested, imprisoned and isolated, Mathieu has nowhere to turn. Defending himself is impossible, the French authorities are powerless... he has only one option: to try and escape.
