A sailor walks out on his young family leaving them to fend for themselves in the city of Liverpool. They make a go of their lives and the eldest daughter, now a woman, is angered by her father's attempted return.

Letter to Brezhnev (C. Bernard, 1986)
Running Time: 94 minutes
Certificate 15
Two Soviet sailors, Peter and Sergei meet Elaine and Theresa, two native Liverpudlians and spend a night out together in Liverpool. Elaine and Peter immediately fall in love with each other, but their romance is cut short and the sailors must leave with their ship. Elaine can't forget him and plays with the ideas of writing a letter to Leonid Brezhnev. The film must be seen in context of the Cold War years. Alexandra Prigg (Elaine) won a BAFTA in 1986 for best actress for her part in the film. Letter to Brezhnev also won awards at the Quimper New Wave Festival in 1986 (Grand Prix) and at the Venice Festival in 1985.
