In 1937 the Danish communist Arne Munch-Pedersen disappeared in the Soviet Union. He was never heard from again. Sixty-two years later, another prominent Danish communist goes back to the secret archives in Moscow in search of the truth. A disheartening story of Stalin's paranoia and the price some people had to pay.
