When Diana’s mysterious brother Boris arrives to stay with them, family loyalty is tested.

Laced with humor and intrigue, RUSSIAN TRANSPORT captures the complex layers of one very particular immigrant experience.

Pinch me!“ —Variety. ”[An] engrossing moral thriller.“ —Time Out New York. ”It's a good old-fashioned delicacy: a solid yarn, well told.“ —New York Post. ”It is impossible to dismiss Sheffer's command of storytelling and zestful, pungent dialogue."
