'The Private from Odessa' is a portrait of Boris Schnaiderman, Brazil's most important translator and essayist on Russian literature and culture. Using different cinematic approaches, the film depicts Boris as he reflects on his personal experiences —his childhood in the 1920's Odessa, his experience as a Brazilian soldier during World War Two— and on his still evolving work as a translator and essayist.
