Moscow, 1941. Veronika and Boris are madly in love, but when Germany invades the Soviet Union, Boris goes to the front. Without news of him, the young woman becomes a nurse and discovers the horror of the conflict. Made four years after Stalin's death, When the Storks Pass belongs to this thaw period that opens up an unprecedented space of freedom for artists. Cinema can finally move away from the heroic and conventional representations of war to show the wounds, doubt, guilt, and fragility of beings. Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1958, very well received by the French public, the film is also a remarkable lesson in cinema: the camera swirls, dives, rises, accompanying bodies and emotions with a new freedom. The direction is simply breathtaking, enhanced by the intensity of the performance of the beautiful Tatiana Samoilova.
