About The Sun Shines to Everyone
Czechoslovakia, May 9, 1945. The end of the war has already been announced. Nikolai Savelyev dreams of returning to his hometown and teaching children history again. Suddenly a battle begins - the SS unit is trying to break through to the west. The battery commander chickened out and fled. Savelyev takes command. He receives a serious injury that leads to blindness. He is accompanied to his hometown by nurse Svetlana. Nikolai does not immediately manage to find his place in life...
Directed by Konstantin Voinov, The Sun Shines to Everyone leans on a strong ensemble — Valentin Zubkov, Liliya Aleshnikova, Evgeni Burenkov — 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 1959.
