Den Højeste Straf plot

In 1937 the Danish communist Arne Munch-Petersen disappeared during a visit to the Soviet Union. He was never heard from again. Sixty-two years later, another prominent Danish communist goes to Moscow to search the secret service archives. The film's story is told along two lines: the historical events in Stalin's empire, through archival footage and interviews with former prisoners of the Gulag, and the contemporary quest that introduces the protagonist to the capricious and enigmatic bureaucracy of the post-communist Russia. This journey begins in the archives of the KGB, which have been made accessible in part, and leads to the far north of Siberia, where Munch-Petersen paid for his belief in the communist ideal by dying in a labor camp.
