Description "Safe House is liberally peppered with political observations, mostly to the effect that the 'free world' was (and still can be) an ironic misnomer for those who differ from the prevailing ideologies". This is about a Soviet professor who defects to Australia during the 1950s, relinquishing his family ties, his country and his intellectual life.
