Description
against the chilling backdrop of Nazi occupied Paris in 1944, The Last Train From Paris tells the story of the forbidden love between a French solider and a Russian ballerina. While apprenticing for Henri Matisse, the young solider meets Natasha, a Russian ballerina who becomes his creative muse. When a Nazi officer forces his attentions on Natasha, she must feign indifference to keep her lover alive -- yet the lovers refuse to give up hope for a future together.
