About Mirror for a Hero
Sergei and Andrei are walking through a city park and see that a film shoot set just post World War II is taking place . They climb over the park fence to get a better view but hit some cable lying on the ground and find themselves in the past - on May 8, 1949, a day which they seem doomed to relive over and over again.
Directed by Vladimir Khotinenko, Mirror for a Hero leans on a strong ensemble — Sergey Koltakov, Ivan Bortnik, Boris Galkin — 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 1988.
