In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family finds themselves marginalized, wherever they go. Their Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination, first in their home country of Azerbaijan, and then in Russia. After finding their eternal hope through a church planted by American missionaries, the hostility of everyday life pushes them to seek refuge in America. In the shadow of exile, hope became their home. Based on a fascinating true story of faith and hope in the midst of great oppression.
