The story

A group of people wish to flee the Soviet Union to escape anti-semitism and political repression, but their activities soon attract the attention of the KGB secret police. Yasha Barazov (Yehuda Barkan) is an outstanding Jewish medical student nearing the completion of his studies. He faces antisemitism at the university, primarily from the student Grisha (Hartmond Heinricks), and therefore requests permission to immigrate to the United States, where his mother lives.
