It is late spring in 1942, and the Great Patriotic War is in full swing. A long way off from the front-line, the Germans make an air landing operation in an attempt to break-through to the Kirov railway and the canal between the White & Baltic Seas. These are not just ordinary paratroopers, but a team of seasoned and highly trained infiltrators, the elite of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi’s super-humans. The only thing in their way is an anti-aircraft artillery unit consisting of Corporal Vaskov and five young women in training. It may seem like a fight of local significance, but the country’s main strategic transportation artery is at stake. Can the corporal and his ‘petite newbies’ prevent Nazi sabotage—and at what cost? This remake of the Academy Award winning Soviet classic remains controversial and highly realistic while exploring the humanity of war. A must-see for film buffs!
