2007ill., ril. 23 novembre 1945. Sono le tre del pomeriggio quando Isaiah Berlin, uno dei massimi teorici del pensiero liberale contemporaneo incontra in una tetra stanza a Leningrado Anna Achmatova, grande poetessa russa del ventesimo secolo. È l'inizio una straordinaria storia d'amore. Un incontro durato solo lo spazio di una notte e di un giorno, ma destinato a lasciare un segno indelebile nelle vite dei due protagonisti. Dopo quella sera la Achmàtova divenne uno dei principali bersagli politici del regime e Berlin si trasformò per sempre agli occhi dei sovietici nella "spia britannica". Anna si sarebbe tormentata per sempre quell'ospite per il resto della vita e da quell'amore maledetto sarebbero nate alcune delle sue poesie più belle. György Dalos è riuscito a entrare negli archivi di Mosca avendo accesso per la prima volta alle carte della polizia sovietica del KGB relative al caso Achmatova. Il risultato è un ritratto della guerra fredda "dall'interno".
