Ballad Of A Soldier
During World War II, 19 year old soldier Alyosha (Vladimir Ivashov) gets a medal as a reward for a heroic act at the front. Instead of this medal he asks for a few days leave to visit his aging mother in her remote farmhouse. On the train eastwards he meets Shura who is on her way to her aunt. In those few days traveling together they fall in love. The winner of the 1962 BAFTA award for Best Film and nominee for both an Academy Award for Best Screenplay and the 1960 Palme d'Or at cannes, Ballad of a Soldier is a deeply moving romantic drama set in war-torn Russia and the perfect companion-piece to The Cranes are Flying.
