Firebird

Firebird, based on a true story from the Cold War is an intense love story that takes place against the background of a Soviet air force base in late 1970s Communist rule. Sergey (Tom Prior), an innocent, youthful soldier, dreams of being an actor in Moscow. He is counting down the days before his military service ends. He meets Roman (Oleg Zgorodnii), an enigmatic, and sexy ace fighter pilot who has just been assigned to his base. Sergey and Roman are driven by an undeniable attraction. This was at a time in Soviet history when any Soviet man caught with a sexual relationship would be punished severely. Their friendship blossoms into love and the men are willing to risk their freedom and lives in order to stay together under the watchful eye of the Soviet government. –Christopher Racster, Co-Producer
