Fog 2 is a story where 5 guys unexpectedly got to a costume party in honor of May 9. But all of a sudden these guys find themselves in a wartime beerhouse, among the Nazi Germans. The Germans force the boys to demine the swamp with their own feet. They try to use them as bait for Soviet troops.
Around panic begins, and the guys try to escape, but one of the fighters named Kantaria is injured at their hands.
Historical parallels
It is known that a young man with the nickname Kantaria once put the Soviet flag over the Reich Stag. Everyone understands that they must save Kantaria at all costs, lest history irreparably change its course. Also, everyone wants to return to real life, where parents and friends are waiting for them, you will see in the film “Fog 2”.
Don't forget to be grateful
The main thing that the filmmakers tried to tell the younger generation is that everyone should be grateful to their grandfathers for the victory, but on the other hand, the picture “Fog 2” shows the outright absurdity of celebrating Victory Day in a nightclub. In the modern world, all former values pale before the era of consumption, where holidays have a commercial connotation. Going back to the beginning is the main goal of the film. close
