Hearts of Fire

Shadowing the lives of two families, Hearts of Fire begins with the Milch twins. Raised in Berlin, Germany, Otto and Ilya are classic products of poverty and abuse. Brilliant, handsome and despotic, Otto maneuvers his way into the twisted bowels of the Nazi inner circle. Simultaneously, we follow the life of Morgan Rabinowiszch. Born into a pious Jewish family in Vilna, Poland, she is a gifted and exceptionally beautiful girl. Determined to become an actress she makes the momentous decision to break with the traditions of her faith. From pre-war Paris to post-war Russia, from the malaria infested swamps of Israel to the greed-filled corridors of modern day Washington, this multigenerational historical saga is a story of duplicity and outrage, courage, determination, love and triumph.
