1944

In World War II, the Russian Army and Nazi forces invaded Estonia tearing families apart and forcing locals to battle one-another beside these vicious armies. This Oscar submission is the true tale of a nation ravaged by war. From director Elmo Nüganen - one of the stars of the Academy Award nominated Tangerines - 1944 is a thrilling and emotional war story that shows the hopes, aims and drama of the Estonian men caught between two forces as objectively as possible.
