Weekdays and Holidays

Будни и праздники

A young engineer named Zotov has been appointed head of the 406th picket line at the construction of a railway line in the taiga. The construction workers huddled in a smoky, dark dugout did not welcome the new foreman very cordially: not everyone can do hard work and household disorder. But the day came when the builders occupied the house they had built themselves, and Zotov had a double holiday — the bride arrived. And again it's weekdays, and again the cold barracks is full — a new batch of builders has arrived.

The Edge
Rated 5.8 on TMDB
Film, 2010
The action takes place shortly after the end of the Second World War in the Siberian hinterland, among Russians and Germans with damaged personal stories and a strange transformation: the victors seem to be crawling into the skins of the defeated, and vice versa. Ignat, is the embodiment of the larger-than-life image of the Soviet victorious warrior who, in fact, proves to be shell-shocked, sick and broken, although not completely destroyed. Trains become fetish for the heroes of the film, and speed becomes a mania; they virtually become one with their steam engines, while the machines take on human names. The heroes set up an almost fatal race in the Siberian forest, risking their own lives and those of others.
