Trial on the Road
WarDrama
This distinctly Russian war story takes place in 1942 behind enemy lines. A regiment of partisans captures former Red Army lieutenant Lazarev who is dressed in a German uniform. He’s a Nazi defector and collaborator but now desires to switch back and fight with Russian partisans.
VIBE
A bleak and morally complex wartime drama. It feels like a grim, unflinching look at survival and shifting loyalties behind enemy lines, steeped in the harsh realities of conflict.
