Todorovsky's film examines life in a provincial Russian town (that is too small to even appear on the map) just outside of Stalingrad during the famous WWII Battle. This is NOT a traditional war film, and the epic events of the battle take place almost entirely off screen. Instead, Todorovsky outlines a crude love triangle between three young people caught up in the harsh Russian winter. The stark winter settings, and the characters' struggle for survival, are what make this film one worth watching. close

The action in this lavishly produced film takes place at an oddly ark-shaped mansion during World War I, and in spirit (although not in story) it reflects the play which inspired it, the ferociously antiwar Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw. A large group of family and friends have gathered at this country house to dance, drink, and converse. Their conversation, in particular, is adorned with erudite literary references and quotations. Despite their apparent refinement, their preoccupations are simple: sex and violence. Disquieting images break the tranquility of the vacationers' inappropriate idyll: some of these include documentary footage of starving African children, images (both real and re-enacted) of George Bernard Shaw going about his daily life, and a corpse coming to life on an autopsy table, only to cheapen that miracle by scolding a group of women. The music used in the film ironically points to its disturbing message and is uniformly anachronistic. close

In the documentary Konstantin Orozaliev and Faid Simforov "Catch up and destroy" describes the legendary escape of the Soviet pilot from captivity.
According to the plot of the picture, in February 1945, a simple Russian soldier Mikhail Devyataev and other prisoners make an escape from fascist captivity on a Henkel plane. It was thanks to this risky step that Mikhail and nine other prisoners of war, who were waiting for another German concentration camp, managed to survive two Nazi concentration camps.
The fact that Devyataev saved nine prisoners of war from certain death was remembered only thirteen years later and handed him the Hero Star. close
