“Why Birches are White”
“Why Birches are White”
Truths and Lies is a contemporary tale of shattered trust, unexpected redemption, and the delicate interplay of betrayal and hope. After enduring a bitter divorce, Vicki resolves never to let another man into her life, convinced that trust is a luxury she can no longer afford. Yet, one evening, at the insistence of a friend, she hesitantly ventures into the world of online dating. Appalled by what she discovers, she is moments away from deleting her account when a single profile captures her attention. A tentative message sets in motion a journey she never anticipated—one fraught with deception and revelation, where the line between truth and falsehood blurs, and the pursuit of happiness proves more complex than she ever imagined.

Why Birches Are White is a hybrid of fiction and documentary that delves into the profound intersection of fate and personal transformation. Against the backdrop of the 1987 Peace Walk from Leningrad to Moscow, the narrative follows an American man and a Russian woman whose lives, once unremarkable, become entwined through extraordinary circumstances. As they navigate the stark realities of Soviet life and reflect on the contrasts of American existence, their bond deepens despite cultural divides, adversity, and the relentless pull of forces that seem determined to reunite them.
