...twists ensue. Anatoly and Florence leave together for Budapest, where Anatoly faces Freddie once again and Florence revisits her scarring childhood. There are “gasp” moments. Anatoly’s wife Svetlana (Victoria J. Benjamin ’12) decides not to wait idly in Russia while her husband embarks on an affair and instead pays a visit to the couple.
