RUSSENSTORY is the story of two befriended mid-thirties couples who are modern, urban, liberal wanting to help a Russian childhood friend escape to Austria. His political engagement in his home country have gotten him into trouble. But what is initially considered adventurous to the Austrians quickly threatens the structure of the old friendship. Especially as aid can be defined in many ways, and the helped behave different to how the helpers would like.
