Dmitriy Kara-Dmitriev

Itinéraire d'un juif russe fuyant les pogroms avant la révolution et revenant dans son pays natal en tant que soldat des armées d'intervention. Film longtemps occulté par les autorités soviétiques.

The rebel leader Jose Real is allowed to leave prison for one day to visit his family. But it is a ruse to make him reveal the whereabouts of his rebel gang. This existential drama disguised as a saga about the proletarian struggle presents a lonely and insecure individual who is challenged to act more heroically than he is prepared to, but who constantly questions his confidence and loyalties.

The film is based on an ancient Chinese fairy tale about the simple people of China who despite of heavy work and oppression, did not lose belief in life and love to freedom
