As a forestry student doing an internship, Anja Grimm ends up in that remote area in the Upper Palatinate Forest, where she went on vacation with her parents as an eight-year-old girl and her father disappeared without a trace. Her job is to take soil samples to create a soil map. At one point in the forest floor she comes across abnormal irregularities. Not long after their arrival, a brutal murder occurs. Anja soon arouses suspicion and hostility not only among the villagers with her suspicion that the perpetrator knows something about her father's fate and with her questions about the atypical soil composition in the forest clearing. Even the police react extremely reservedly to their investigations. And when it turns out that the young woman can read the signs of the forest like an open book, forces mobilize in the village who are apparently ready for anything because there is a dark secret that needs to be kept. close

This harrowing war film is an epic dramatization of the first battle of World War II. The Battle of Westerplatte that began on 1 September 1939 will forever be remembered as the one that announced the beginning of the Second World War in Europe. Over one week, fewer than 200 Polish soldiers fought against heavy German bombardment and in the process came to symbolize the power of resistance. As the violence rages, a complex battle of a more personal nature plays out between two Polish commanders over how to best lead their men. Amid the bloodshed, they must ask themselves – should they fight until the last man standing or surrender in the face of overwhelming odds? What unfolds is a stirring exploration of the fight against the forces of tyranny. close

These people survived the Great Patriotic War and immediately ended up in the "death camps" on Kolyma. At least two million people were captured in Germany. This was considered a betrayal of the Motherland, Article 58. The death camps, an innovation of the NKVD, worked flawlessly. It was designed to destroy the “enemies of the people.” No, they didn’t kill, people just couldn’t stand it themselves, beasts and destroyed each other, someone died of disease, cold and hunger. In the film, several rehabilitated prisoners talk about their cruel fate, about what few people know, about what was kept in strict secrecy for many years. These are the nuances of the “Zack” life, wild and cruel. Film 1 – The Story of a Trust Semi-destroyed wooden buildings, empty eye sockets of windows, barracks, stars on towers, a rickety palisade, a wooden bridge - whether to freedom or in conclusion - this is all that remains of one of the countless Stalinist camps. “The stone promised to keep the secret” now protects only the countless bodies of the regime’s victims buried here. It all started in the '30s. Movie 2 - "Face to Face" Freelance workers, former prisoners and children born in the camps continue to testify. The late 30s and early 40s were full of important events for prisoners. At first, changes were expected in connection with the removal of Yezhov and the appointment of Beria. But instead of changes, there were mass shootings. Movie 3 – “The War After the War” From the mountain, on which lies the old cracked “cup” of the high-voltage transmission line, the remains of the camp are visible. Chronicle - soldiers of the Great Patriotic War are met with Victory and flowers. In parallel with these trains there were other trains that did not meet with flowers. Those who traveled in them - prisoners of war, repatriates - from German captivity were sent to Soviet captivity, to camps. They wanted to return to their homeland, but instead received a tribunal and a prison. Denunciations began again, the regime was tightened, handcuffs and numbers were introduced, which now replaced names. Underground organizations were created among prisoners, people went on the run. They were shot, the corpses of the murdered fugitives lay unburied for weeks to intimidate, but they still ran away - chased the excitement of freedom, human dignity. Death was a common occurrence... The authors dedicated this film without guilt to the murdered, our brothers and sisters, who rested anonymously on the cold Kolyma land. close
