Ieva Lešinska (born 2 July 1958) is a Latvian translator, journalist and editor.
In 1978 she defected to the United States with her father, a USSR diplomat who was a spy for the US, where she was granted political asylum.
In 1987 she moved to Sweden, where she worked as a journalist and translator, and studied for a Master of Arts in Baltic philology at the University of Stockholm.
In the film, Lešinska investigates the life of her father, Imants Lešinskis, who was a double agent and spy for the CIA and KGB, and the events which led him to organising for her to visit him on the holiday which would lead to her defection.
The film describes the story of how Lešinska was forced to leave Latvia and her mother, whom she would never see again, and became a political refugee in the USA.
