Twenty Days Without War
Directed by Aleksei German
Produced by Lenfilm
A reflective wartime drama that uses a soldier's brief respite to explore the psychological and emotional toll of war on those both at the front and on the home front.
War correspondent Lopatin takes a 20-day-leave from his hard work at the front in 1942. He travels to faraway Tashkent to meet the family of the killed soldier and visit the film set of the screen adaptation of his war-time stories. Lopatin also manages to walk the streets of Tashkent, take part in a factory workers' meeting and have a short-lived love affair. Although with no bombings and fighting, the city dwellers breathe the atmosphere of the ongoing war.
