70 years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, the smoke of cruelty and hatred between the warring parties has cleared. A film about German and Soviet cameramen who worked on the Eastern Front. The war was, as it were, turned upside down in the cameras' lenses and reflected the interests and feelings not of the people filming, but the interests of officials and ideologists of the warring parties. The film is about how important it was to remain human on both sides of the front, even in the unbearable conditions of the war. And German, and Soviet, and, especially, a man with a camera in his hands.

Just what I expected
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
