Earth

There are places where the WW II is not over yet. On the former battlefields, which are now covered with woods, thousands of Soviet soldiers lie unburied. Every year some volunteers come there to search for these human remains. They do that so that they could bury them properly. While they dig out the bones in order to bury them again, the apparently absurd cycle earns a new purpose. The Earth does not only reveal the past, as the forest ghosts are rising from an archive footage like spirits of the soldiers killed seventy years ago. It is transforming it to the future, as the teenagers, who have been brought there by their parents, face death for the first time in their live, although they start playing war games on the spot. The film is an elegy which, one more time, reminds one of frailty of human existence.
