Burnt by the Sun

The summer of 1936. The legendary Division Commander Kotov, a famous military leader and Stalin’s personal favorite, is vacationing with his family at his dacha. The idyll of the house with an attic is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Mitya, a former student of Kotov’s wife Marousia’s father. Mitya and Marousia were lovers once, dreaming of the future together… Today, Mitya is collaborating with the NKVD, and he came to take revenge… The film is closing the theme of the 1930s in Soviet history, capturing the atmosphere of “a long happy day in the life of a girl, which will end with her father being taken away”.
