The invasion of a village in Byelorussia by German forces sends young Florya into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha, who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.
2 hours of literal hell and trauma. The exposure it gives to the human condition you could call gorgeous...in a god awful way. If the plot & character development were masterful, it would've been a 10/10
