Directed by Kantemir Balagov • Arthouse • 2020 • Russia • Russian with English subtitles
Starring Viktoria Miroshnichenko, Vasilisa Perelygina, Andrey Bykov

In post-WWII Leningrad, two women, Iya and Masha, intensely bonded after fighting side by side as anti-aircraft gunners, attempt to readjust to a haunted world. Kantemir Balagov won Un Certain Regard’s Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival for this richly burnished, occasionally harrowing rendering of the persistent scars of war.
