Synopsis "You Cannot Kill a Swan: The Love Story of Lyuba and Ivan"

Seventeen-year-old Lyuba Zhukova is left behind in Russia when her mother and aunt immigrate to America, forcing her to go into hiding from the Bolsheviks and sometimes flee at a moment's notice. By the time the Civil War has turned in favor of the Reds, Lyuba has also become an unwed mother. But she still has her best friend and soulmate Ivan Konev, a band of friends, and a cousin, and together they're determined to survive the Bolsheviks and escape to America. As Lyuba runs for her life during the terror and uncertainty of the Civil War, she's committed to protecting her daughter Tatyana and staying together with Ivan, her on-again, off-again boyfriend in addition to her best friend and the man who's raised her child as his own since the night she was born. The race to get out of Russia, into Estonia, and over to America intensifies after Ivan commits a murder to protect her and becomes a wanted criminal. Once in America, Lyuba discovers the streets aren't lined with gold and that she's just another Lower East Side tenement-dweller. Ivan brings in dirt wages from an iron factory, forcing them to largely live off the savings they brought from Russia and to indefinitely defer their dream of having their own farm in the Midwest. And though the Red Terror is just a nightmarish memory, Lyuba is still scarred in ways that have long prevented her and Ivan from becoming husband and wife and living happily ever after. Can she ever heal from her traumatic past and have the life she always dreamt of with the man she loves before Ivan gets tired of waiting?
