Chronicle of Flaming Years

Directed by Yuliya Solntseva

With Boris Andreyev, Sergei Lukyanov, Vasili Merkuryev, Mykola Vinhranovskyi and Svetlana Zhgun

Once again, director Yulia Solnsteva directs a movie that her late husband Alexandre Dovchenko scripted but did not live long enough to shoot. In this wartime drama, the emphasis is on the heroics of both the civilians and the soldiers during times of severe stress in World War II. At the core of the action is one man in particular, whose sacrifices and heroics speak for a much larger group.
