Incoming: Despite the Falling Snow

In Cold War Moscow, a female spy steals secrets from an idealistic politician – and falls in love with him.

Moscow, 1959: Katya is young, beautiful – and a spy for the Americans. When she begins spying on Alexander, an idealistic Communist politician, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with him. Her choice between love and duty leads to a nail-biting conclusion that Alexander can only unravel decades later in 1990s New York. His journey back to the snowbound streets of Moscow uncovers a love triangle and betrayals from those he trusted most.

Despite the Falling Snow is out in cinemas on Friday.
