Description: Set in a small provincial town in Latvia during the second Soviet occupation after World War II. While on border patrol, Soviet patrolmen find a woman's shoe in the sand and believe it to be a sign of a security breach.

The Shoe is a satirical depiction of the paranoia and totalitarianism of the Soviet regime during the occupation.
