Weather followed by Olga Goes to Hollywood
What happens when you leave your homeland - forever? Olga Serova knows that she will probably never see her friends and family in Russia again. She has crossed the world and ended up in Tinsel Town. But the Hollywood of a glamorous legend is not what Olga discovers in her everyday life. She met her husband Zhenya at the Moscow Circus School, where they both trained as actors. As refuseniks, they were secretly filmed by the BBC in Moscow eight years ago and then again on the day they got to the West.
Now Zhenya, who dreams of Charlie Chaplin , can find work only as a Los Angeles taxi driver.
