The Ascent
DramaWar
Two Soviet partisans leave their starving band to get supplies from a nearby farm. The Germans have reached the farm first, so the pair must go on a journey deep into occupied territory, a voyage that will also take them deep into their souls.
VIBE
A stark, unforgiving portrayal of wartime survival. This film feels like a frozen breath, a testament to endurance against overwhelming odds. It’s a deeply humanistic, soul-searching journey through a brutal landscape.
