Details: This is a coming-of-age story of a young girl from Baku, USSR, and the beginning of her journey to the United States. A story of her family’s life, of their explosive relationships, of their happiness and loss. Re-telling the story of her family’s turbulent dynamic, Tata tries to understand its origins, hoping one day to break the vicious cycle of love-hate interconnection, codependency, and control while pursuing her own quest for unconditional love. It is a story about Tata’s family, but mostly about herself, taking steps towards her new life, new image, new identity, newly discovered Jewish roots with her “everlasting” friend Dina always by her side.
The Kogan family struggled in the stagnant atmosphere of the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Tata’s father, a Historian and a Writer, was banned from publishing houses “for a lack of political correctness and potentially dangerous themes.”
Raised in a traditional Middle-Eastern society, Tata left Baku, her Hometown, freeing herself from false taboos, stigmas, fears, and Socialist dogmas of the USSR on its deathbed. Forty years have passed since Tata and her family began their Exodus. A milestone of Biblical proportions. On the verge of the 21st Century, still wandering and searching for their True Home, the “Promised Land”, with each one of them having a version of its own. Will they find it?
