A Mountain of Crumbs is the moving story of a young Soviet girl`s discovery of the hidden truths of adulthood and her country`s profound political deception. Elena, born with a desire to explore the world beyond her borders, finds her passion in the complexity of the English language - but in the Soviet Union of the 1960s, such a passion verges on the subversive.
