      I have only one

      I flew across the sky and
      saw a herd of deer . There were
      so many of you.
      I only had one
      ,
      counted, and fell asleep.

      At the end of the World Anti-Fascist War, the two surviving Finnish and Soviet soldiers, who were originally hostile, were in a remote area. In the North Russian wasteland, a local young woman named Cuckoo meets unexpectedly. They are together because of the difference in nationality, which makes their language communication a huge problem....

      natural innocence

      (Because Mr. Xu Wenbing recommended to start watching this strange movie.)

      The three of them talked together, the seemingly primitive life did not have all the "cleanness" of modern civilization, and the woman was alone in a land with few people. On the other hand, living alone for four years without "depression" still maintains the innocence of human nature, which is hard to imagine in today's society. We are restless compared to the hustle and bustle and multiple choices in...

      "Cuckoo" movie script

      In September 1944, as the Second World War was drawing to a close, the Soviet Union signed an armistice agreement with Finland, which was on the

      enemy side
      .

      Finland withdrew from the war. However, the Soviet and German armies fighting on the remote Soviet-Finnish border did not yet understand the situation. Of course, Nazi Germany has always distrusted its allies. A bizarre and ordinary story happened at such a special time and place. (Note 1) On
      the...

      The Tower of Babel - "The Cuckoo"

      Losing the desire to speak is not because of the powerlessness of words, but because of the abandonment of life. However, I struggled to say something, because only by saying it would I know where I had come, and perhaps only then would I know where I was going.
       
      A Finnish-speaking sniper, a Russian-speaking Red Army soldier, a Saami-speaking minority woman; a young college student who hated war but was forced to side with the German army; a hobbyist who wrote poetry and was told...

      It's an interesting movie. The heroine is an indigenous Lappish people in northern Europe. Her husband was arrested and enlisted in the army four years ago, and she has never had a man again, so she is hungry and thirsty. This is good, God brought him two men at once, a Russian officer and a Finnish soldier. The three spoke their own language, and neither could understand what the other was saying. They are living together in this uncommunicative chaos. The political correctness of Russian...
