The second film by 27-year-old Russian dirtor Kantemir Balagov, Beanpole (Dylda), gained praise at the recent Cannes Film Festival where it won the FIPRESCI (International Federation of Film Critics) prize.
The film treats the damaged lives of two young women who have returned to Leningrad (today St. Petersburg) from the front in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. The conflict claimed the lives of over 27 million Soviet citizens, including over 1 million in the siege of Leningrad alone.
