Synopsis

Soviet Union, 1941: a Jewish girl regains consciousness under a layer of black earth. Close-ups of milky-white body parts reveal she is in a mass grave. The images are of great beauty despite all their horror. Anna is six years old and hides herself in a disused fireplace of the Nazi commandant’s office. From there she views the war and life passing by. The guard dog outside imprisons her. The threat of discovery is constant.
Her ingenuity, the items left behind by the slowly alternating visitors and the treasures she discovers in the adjacent rooms help her survive, simultaneously creating some absurdist, theatrical moments.
The new feature from Russian auteur Aleksey Fedorchenko (First on the Moon, Silent Souls, Angels of Revolution), with a phenomenal performance by child actress Marta Kozlova. An ode to the resilience and ingenuity of children.
