Sputnik

Due to her controversial methods, young doctor Tatiana Yurievna is on the precipice of losing her medical license. Her career may not be over, though. After she’s recruited by the military, Tatiana is brought to a secure science research facility to assess a very special case, that of Konstantin Sergeyevich, a cosmonaut who survived a mysterious space accident and has returned to Earth with a unique condition: there’s something living inside of him that only shows itself late at night. The military has nefarious plans for it. Tatiana wants to stop it from killing Konstantin. And the creature itself thrives on destruction.

Persian Lessons

In 1942 a young Belgian Jew, Gilles Cremieux, pretends to be a Persian to save himself from being shot. This lie saves his life, but Gilles cannot even imagine what a trick destiny will play on him now.

SS soldiers bring him to Klaus Koch, the chef in the concentration camp kitchen. Koch is planning to move to Iran after the war and is looking for someone to teach him the language. In order to survive,

Gilles pretends to know Farsi. But now he is ordered to teach it to Koch, a language of which he knows not a word. This is how the story of Gilles Cremieux and Klaus Koch begins – the Jew and the German, the prisoner and the guard, the teacher and the student. From the very beginning Gilles’ plan seems impossible. Everyday he has to make up four nonexistent words, while still remembering the old ones. Four words a day, one hundred and twenty words per month and almost fifteen hundred per year! How to invent and memorize them all?
