An unforgettable take on war’s human costs, Russian wunderkind Kantemir Balagov’s visually poetic drama is set in Leningrad in the aftermath of Russia’s WWII "victory." Lanky nurse Iya (Viktoria Miroshnichenko) and her friend Masha (Vasilisa Perelygina) are reunited after having experienced untold horrors. As the desperate citizenry scrambles to survive, can the women return to a life even resembling normalcy? "Exceptionally crafted, devastating… ferocious, and extraordinary." - Variety
