The Great Patriotic War. Seven peasants from the village of Dalva are transporting collected grain by wagon to the village of Tartak. On the way, they are stopped by Nazi punitive forces. To shield themselves from the bullets of local resistance fighters, the soldiers force the peasants to march at the front of their column. Suddenly, the partisans launch an attack on the Germans.
Directed by Viktor Karpilau, Tartak leans on a strong ensemble — Maya Bulgakova, Stepan Khatskevich, Pavel Kormunin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1973.
