About Son of the Regiment
Summer 1943. A group of scouts from an artillery division stumbles upon a 12-year-old boy during a raid behind enemy lines. The scouts are shocked by his appearance - completely wild, dirty, ragged, angry and hungry - a real "wolf cub". The scouts take him with them and study that he has been wandering through the forests for about two years, feeding on what infections, and hiding all the time.
Directed by Georgiy Kuznetsov, Son of the Regiment leans on a strong ensemble — Igor Nosov, Vadim Yakovlev, Viktor Miroshnichenko — 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 1981.
