“Firebird”: Love Behind the Iron Curtain
Sergey Fetisov might have been just another footnote in human history had his memoir The Story of Roman not fallen into the creative hands of writer-director Peeter Rebane and writer-star Tom Prior (The Theory of Everything). His chronicle of serving in the Russian military in Estonia during the height of the 1970s Cold War and falling into a love triangle with fighter pilot Roman Medveyev (Oleg Zagorodnii) and best friend Luisa (Diana Pozharskaya) serves as the backdrop to a provocative study of love, self-acceptance, betrayal and social mores.
