L’homme blanc, c’est Kolia, né dans les monts K. en Sibérie orientale, élevé dans les prisons de Staline. Là-bas, enfant encore illettré s’habituant à la faim et au froid, il fait la rencontre de Iossif, un prisonnier originaire d’Europe de l’Ouest qui le prend en charge et lui donnera le goût de l’art, du français, du monde libre.
