Plot

The brilliantly adapted story of the children of the executed American socialists the Rosenbergs. Their childhood experiences are intermingled with clips from the 60s showing the decline of one into depressed madness and the attempts of the other to discover the true story of what happened to them. A psycho-political melodrama.
