She was the breakout star of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation  now Rebecca Ferguson is once again on a ‘mission’ in Despite The Falling Snow. In the film’s UK trailer she swaps the hi-tech espionage  of modern spy fare for Cold War 1950’s  which shows even enemies can fall in love in dangerous times.

Embroiled in a plot to steal secrets for the Americans at the height of the Cold War, Katya Grinkova (Rebecca Ferguson) finds herself torn between love and duty when she falls for her target, idealistic Soviet politician Alexander Ivanov (Sam Reid). As Alexander prepares for a diplomatic mission to the USA and the net closes around her, Katya must decide whether to sacrifice her love to protect him.

New York, 1992. Alexander Ivanov (Charles Dance) is still haunted by the disappearance of his beloved Katya after his forced defection from the U.S.S.R. After 30 years of uncertainty, a surprising discovery may finally help him discover the truth about her sacrifice.
