1945, Leningrad. World War II has devastated the city, demolishing its buildings and leaving its citizens in tatters, physically and mentally. Although the siege - one of the worst in history - is finally over, life and death continue their battle in the wreckage that remains. Two young women, Iya and Masha, search for meaning and hope in the struggle to rebuild their lives amongst the ruins. 26-year-old Kantemir Balagov follows TESNOTA, winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, with a powerful period drama.
In the aftermath of the devastating World War II, on the battle-scarred carcass of 1945 Leningrad, the pale and shy young nurse of the citys veterans hospital, Iya, finds herself grappling with increasingly regular fits of post-traumatic stress disorder. As tall as a giraffe, Iya has earned the funny nickname, Beanpole; however, the sudden arrival of her only friend, Masha, a damaged female soldier who has just returned from the front, will soon become the painful reminder that, even though the enemy is gone forever, the war is far from over yet. Now, against the backdrop of post-apocalyptic scenes of destruction and death, two troubled young survivors attempt to start their lives from scratch, bury the nightmarish past, and find solace in friendship. Will the unresolved traumas of peace ever heal?
