About Alka
When the war began, graduates of the choreographic school decided to make their way to the front. Young ballerinas Alka and Nadia also dreamed of exploits, but instead they were waiting for routine work as nurses in the hospital. The girls still achieved their goal and got to the front line, where Nadia died at the first shelling. After recovering from a severe concussion, Alka again went to the front line, to the Marine reconnaissance platoon. She received her first task – to get a "tongue"…
Directed by Viktor Buturlin, Alka leans on a strong ensemble — Анна Фомина, Andrey Frolov, Natalya Terekhova — 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 2006.

Hopelessly outnumbered, young men laid down their lives in a battle lasting almost two weeks to obstruct the far superior German forces advancing towards Moscow. Around 3,500 cadets and their commanding officers were sent to hold up the last line of defense outside Moscow. Most of them remained there for eternity.
