From January, 23  in Belgrade, Serbia, is shooting the new movie “Despite the Falling Snow”.

From the award winning director Shamim Sarif it is based on her own book.

Moscow, 1959: communist Katya is a young and beautiful spy for the Americans in the Cold War arms race. When she lands her biggest assignment and begins stealing secrets from rising government star Alexander, an idealistic Communist politician, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with him. Reconciling her passion for him with her beliefs about communism means making the greatest sacrifice of her life. A sacrifice that Alexander only uncovers thirty years later  in 90s New York. His journey back to the snowbound streets of Moscow uncovers a love triangle and betrayals from those he trusted most.
