Four Soldiers

1919. The Russian Civil War. It is the harsh dead of winter as four soldiers set up camp in a forest somewhere near the Romanian front line. There is a lull in the fighting, so their days are taken up with the mundane tasks of trying to scratch together what food and comforts they can find, all the while talking, smoking and waiting. Tightly focused and simply told, this is a story of friendship and the small moments of happiness that can illuminate the darkness of war.
