About Twice Born
Events take place in the White Sea, 1942. New recruit Andrei Bulygin is assigned as an assistant machine gunner on a small ship that delivers soldiers and weapons to the front line.

Directed by Arkadiy Sirenko, Twice Born leans on a strong ensemble — Vyacheslav Baranov, Georgiy Drozd, Eduard Bocharov — 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 war titles of 1984.
