A Russian circus visits the US. A clown wants to defect, but doesn't have the nerve. His saxophone playing friend however comes to the decision to defect in the middle of Bloomingdales. He is befriended by the black security guard and falls in love with the Italian immigrant from behind the perfume counter. We follow his life as he works his way through the American dream and tries to find work as a musician.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Moscow on the Hudson' centers on defection, culture shock, and the pursuit of the American dream, with no substantive connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. The plot summary provided does not mention Christmas at all."
