Miklos Jancso´s classic film is a starkly atmospheric tale of friendship in the final days of World War II. Joska (Andras Kozak) is a young Hungarian making his way home, through countryside full of the debris of war, when he is captured and imprisoned by Russians. Left in the custody of a young Russian soldier, Kolya (Sergei Nikonenko), the two youths form a friendship in spite of not speaking each other´s language.
Joska´s attempts to complete his journey homeward provide the framework for this powerful film, considered by many to be Jancso´s first masterpiece
