The Russian director Kantemir Balagov fully justifies the expectations he created with "Closeness" and gets inspired by Nobel prize author Svetlana Alexievich for a masterful and heartbreaking cinematic experience that touches levels of ancient tragedy.

Synopsis

1945, Leningrad; two young women, who were found on the battlefield together, try to get back on their feet and rebuild their lives amongst the ruins that the war has left behind. They will meet again at the hospital where one of them works as a nurse, after a tragedy and the unspoken trauma that they both carry, they will try to survive and redefine a relationship powered by secrets, mistakes and guilt.
