Forbidden Love takes place in 1960s East Berlin, where an illicit love affair develops between female English journalist, Hope Edwards and female Russian soldier, Natalya Sokolov. They endeavour to keep it a secret – if caught it could mean the Gulag or worse. And when Hope follows Natalya back to Russia, the KGB begins to take an interest in their friendship. As their affair is exposed, they are forced on the run in a desperate attempt to escape to the west.
