In 1905 Germany, Evgeny Narezhny, a talented bridge engineer and son of a Russian émigré, rejects lucrative offers to serve Russia. Arriving in St. Petersburg during the 1905 revolution, he focuses on science, believing it can solve global issues, unlike his Bolshevik wife, Elena Chernova. As a renowned scientist, Narezhny is repulsed by capitalism and is forced to reconsider his views on the revolutionaries’ struggle.
