Synopsis

A film that marked a radical opening for Soviet cinema. The romantic, lyrical story concerns a beautiful young girl (Tatiana Samoilova) caught up in the horrors of war. When her fiance (Alexei Batalov) goes off to war, she marries a man whom she does not love and who raped her, is evacuated to Siberia and, after the war, learns of her fiance's death. But she refuses to believe it and waits for his return. A great international success, which won the Palme d''Or and Best Director and Best Actress honors at Cannes. Russian with English Mikhail Kalatozov---USSR---1957---94 mins.

One of the truly great WWII films from the Soviet Union. This is a must view film for anyone who believes they know and understand films.
