2 "... "Franz + Polina" by Mikahil Segal = Love. Regardless of war, ethnicity, and time. Pure Love..." Anatoly Vasiliev (Theatrical Director, Russia) "... I have a soft corner in my heart for a work of talent. "Franz +Polina" is a talented film. It is made with unexpected, for a debutant, skill and accuracy. While accuracy is a truth of today's time. It allowed the director to read this as old as the hills story in a new fashion." Pavel Lungin (Film Director, Russia) "...We strongly recommend to see the Russian film "Franz + Polina" directed by Mikhail Segal, that won the Grand Prix of the 20-th FIPA festival in Biarritz! This story of love against a background of Nazi's barbarity in Belorussia in 1943 stands out by an exceptional cinema quality and indisputably deserves that." "L'Humanite", France "...No doubt, in the first place this is a duet, excellently performed story of love..." "Timeout", Russia

4 Story In the answer of the actions of partisans and also according to the program "The plan of the distraction of Slavonic nation", Nazis were burning hundreds of villages with their inhabitants along all Belorussia. Directed to one of such villages a division of "SS" was given an order to suspend an action unexpectedly at the last moment. Instead of destroying the inhabitants and the village, German soldiers became kind and lovely lodgers. Will the young soldier be in time to have a talk about his love and feelings to Polina, a daughter of the mistress, until a new order will come? How much time is left? Neither love, nor murder was in life of Franz. Realism gradually changing into a thriller has been represented in the film stylistically. Main characters had to go through a number of mystical transformations, a number of situations which made them choose between craving to each other and desire to survive every time. There are almost no dialogues in the film. Unexpected and terrible events do not provoke main characters to talk.
