Leo, once a respected officer, has fallen out of favor with the party and is demoted to a lowly position. However, when a series of gruesome child murders occur in his area, Leo becomes determined to solve the case and redeem himself.

As Leo delves into the investigation, he discovers that there is a pattern to the killings, indicating the work of a serial killer. However, in the harsh and oppressive regime of the Soviet Union, the government refuses to acknowledge the existence of such crimes, claiming that in their socialist utopia, murder does not occur.

Despite facing intense scrutiny and resistance from his superiors, Leo becomes even more determined to uncover the truth. Along the way, he is assisted by his wife, Raisa, who is equally dedicated to seeking justice for the victims.

Together, Leo and Raisa navigate through the political and bureaucratic maze of the Soviet Union, continually risking their lives in their pursuit of the truth. They soon realize that their investigation is not only putting them in danger but is also uncovering a vast conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of party leadership.

As Leo gets closer to exposing the truth, he must confront the darkest secrets and corruption within the Soviet Union. With his own life and the lives of those he cares about at stake, Leo becomes a target for the very people he once served.

The movie Child 44 is a gripping and atmospheric thriller that exposes the ruptures within an authoritarian regime, where pursuing justice and fighting for the truth can have dire consequences. It explores the moral complexities of a society where loyalty to the party is valued above all else and sheds light on the struggle of individuals who defy a system built on lies and oppression.
