Russia, 1990. 71 mins. Water Bearer/Peccadillo Pics.

Five young Red Army recruits struggle for survival against the merciless violence that surrounds them on a daily basis. Their only means of saving their dignity is by preserving the humanity and compassion they share for each other. Visually astonishing and erotically charged, the film was banned by Soviet censors upon its initial release. Amazingly, all the roles are played by real-life soldiers except for one professional actor.

Director: Hussein Erkenow
