Achrome

2022 · 96 min

A somber, slow descent into moral horror, watching innocence curdle into grim resolve amid wartime cruelty.

Overview: The naïve Maris joins the Wehrmacht during the Nazi occupation of the Baltic states, together with his brother and several others from the village. The barracks are in a monastery, and Maris – whom everyone views as a fool – seems to consider his fate a religious calling. Until his eyes are opened by the soldiers’ misbehaviour, and he takes it upon himself to save a young woman.
