The Schmidt Sisters: A Revolutionary Situation is based on a true story lost to history– until now. After the mysterious death of their Bolshevik brother, the Schmidt sisters are bestowed with a lofty inheritance. Two comrades are sent by Vladimir Lenin to woo the women, marry them, and take the money back to the Bolsheviks. One couple butts heads while the other falls in love, but both are blinded to the brutal realities of the burgeoning revolution flaring up around them. They all grapple with whether it’s more worthy to live or die for the cause, the choice between personal and collective liberation, and the harsh truth that morality isn’t always black or white when fighting for a better world.
