Product Description It is 1942 and the western edge of the USSR is under German occupation. In the region, local partisans are waging a brutal battle against their foreign enemies. Sushenya, an innocent rail worker, is arrested with a band of saboteurs when a train is derailed not far from his village. The German officer decides to set him free rather than hang him with the others, but rumors of Sushenya's treason spread quickly and partisans Burov and Voitik seek revenge. Captured by the partisans, Sushenya is led through the forest where they are ambushed. Soon he finds himself one-on-one with his wounded enemy, forced to make a moral choice under immoral circumstances. From the critically acclaimed director of MY JOY.

Happily, they have abandoned the propaganda of the Soviet-era
I am addicted to Russian cinematic portrayals of the "Great Patriotic War". Happily, they have abandoned the propaganda of the Soviet-era, and now deal with the truly heart-rending barbarity that was inflicted by both sides upon the innocent occupants of the occupied areas of Belorus, the Ukraine and Russia during the post-Barborossa invasion. The acting and story line are faultless.

He ain't heavy. He's my assasin.
This is a wonderfup film. I have seen it twice. I did not understand the main character. He acted in ways I never would have: carrying on his back the injured man who had been sent to assasinate him, for one. He is an honorable who has been falsely accused and maligned. I have also seen My Joy, and The Return, two other outstanding films by the same Ukrainian director.

A good film
understated character study. a piece on how war affects people in different ways. all struggling to survive with different characters making different choices from nearly the same circumstances. a fine reflection on the way people and morals break down from the stress of war. somber in tone and character. excellent acting. you feel like youre in Belorussia in 42. peter rinaldi natchez ms

Will get you thinking (hopefully)
This is a thought provoking movie which takes place during WW2. NOT your everyday war movie in the least. If you have the patience then watch. You may not be satisfied in the end either. I found it to be very good.

forgiveness
real surprise ending.. kept me interested... can be a little slow at times, but it has its reasons.. It has alot of moral value for me. Also about forgiveness and compassion.
