Burnt by the Sun 2

2011 · 1 season

A gruelling, faith-soaked wartime epic that weighs every muddy step with suffering, endurance and quiet hope.

Overview: Former commander Kotov, unjustly convicted in the 30s as an enemy of the people, miraculously survived and was sent to war by an ordinary ordinary soldier of the penal battalion. He fought like everyone else: in mud, cold and hunger, without looking into the future for more than one day, and even that he had to be able to live. To live and survive in the hell that was the military front line. His faith saved him. Faith in his country, faith in God and the faith of his daughter Nadia that the father is alive…
How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, tense and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Survival, faith, war, isolation
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
