Robin Williams stars as Vladimir Ivanoff, a Soviet circus musician who defects while visiting New York. Through the city’s neon glare and everyday temptations, he experiences American freedom, romance, and cultural mishaps, while his wife and daughter back home wrestle with separation and expectations. Mazursky balances warmth and wit to explore identity, assimilation, and the meaning of home as Vladimir’s optimism meets the practical pull of reality in a bustling, multicultural New York.
