It is August 1941. With the battle line far away in the east, three soldiers who have managed to escape from captivity find it difficult to hide: the territory is occupied by the enemy. The local woods are not safe: you can easily get embogged. Are the villagers loyal? Nobody can say. There is an old man who offers to help them. Is he reliable enough? He may kill them or report them to the local German authorities. Anything may happen, but one of them, the sniper, is his son who is his youngest, his dearest. Written by Mark Gubarenko

war as axis
30 October 2013 | by VincentiuSee all my reviews

a Russian war film. or, only, a Russian film. impressive script, admirable acting. and profound role of landscapes images. a movie like a rope. nuances of duty and love, communism and life under occupation, about chance, fear, cruelty and sacrifice, about profound image of reality in a village and splendid eulogy to basic values. so, a film about wars. each detail, each side of violence, the construction of dialogs and the waters of faces are important because , more than a story it is a picture about sense of small gestures,moral force in dark times. as many others movies of genre from Russia, using a noble tradition, it is a Christian movie and, in same measure, reconquest of past events in a new and clear light.
