Come up with it yourself.

Separation in Russia (1927): The plot begins in a small Russian village. The father of a little girl, Fegele, leaves for America to earn money, promising to take the family back with him later. Soon after his departure, the village suffers from pogroms, and Fegele, along with other refugees, is sent west on a ship. Foreign England: The girl arrives in Great Britain, where she is placed in a Christian orphanage and adopted by a family. She is given a new name, Susie, forbidden to speak her native Yiddish, and raised as an Englishwoman. Susie grows up withdrawn, but discovers a strong talent for singing. She carefully preserves the only photograph of her father. Parisian Life and Love: As an adult, Susie goes to Paris, where she finds work as a chorus girl and dancer. She meets an ambitious Russian émigré, Lola, who is looking for a rich patron and begins an affair with the arrogant opera singer Dante. Susie herself meets Cesare, a gypsy horseman. Feeling equally alien to European society, Susie and Cesare fall passionately in love.
