The Story

Experience the gripping Cold War thriller 'Despite the Falling Snow,' based on Shamim Sarif's novel and directed by the author herself. Set in 1950s Moscow, the film follows communist Katya (Rebecca Ferguson) as she spies for the Americans, navigating a dangerous assignment and unexpected love with government star Alexander (Sam Reid). The story masterfully intertwines 1950s espionage with Alexander's quest for truth thirty years later, featuring a strong supporting cast including Charles Dance.
