This is a new Russian film. The link below will take you to VOD sites. I
am not expecting this to compete with the epic films Ken referred us to
but I am interested in using the film to talk a bit about the historical
context.
WWII 1942: Rzhev, USSR. After one of the many brutal battles between the
Red Army and the Nazis near the village of Ovsyannikovo, only half of
the Red Army’s company survives … for the moment. Freezing cold, with
little to no reinforcements and the Nazis encroaching ever closer, the
company receives the impossible order from Soviet headquarters to keep
the village at all costs. While pinned in this crucial strategical
position, the members of the company cope with their fear while also
finding the strength to believe in their unlikely chance of survival.
With the weight of his soldiers’ lives on his shoulders, the company
commander faces the choice between sending his unit to a sure death in
battle or death by court-martial. Like a drop in the ocean, this one
battle reveals the honorable, yet tragic depth to which the Red Army
fought to help defeat the Nazis in WWII.
