Men in Soldier's Overcoats

1968 · 91 min

A sober, slow-moving wartime chronicle that follows soldiers through hardship, more restrained and less triumphant than typical propaganda films of its era.

Overview
The story of the war film is about paths of the Estonian Shooting Corps (formed by the Red Army) during the WW-2 and how the fight forms an usual man to a loyal soldier. Ideologic aspects of the movie are more hidden than in ordinary Soviet war films but they're still existing.
