There are many movies about the First World War, but Soul Blizzard is the first time to interpret this war from the perspective of a small country Latvia , in its own homeland, after the Germans, and then the Russians. This is the most popular film in Latvia since independence in 1991.
When Germany invaded the Russian Empire in 1915, Artus witnessed his mother and his family dog being killed by the Germans in the yard of his home, before joining the Russian army with his brother and father. The father and brother died one after another in the harsh weather conditions and brutal fighting. Before the Germans were driven away, the Russian ally became a new enemy. Artus, who returned to his own country, decided to continue to pick up the gun and fight again.
Blizzard of Souls is not a heroic film, but shows the struggle of Latvians forced into the war through ordinary people in the war. In central Latvia, in heavy fog and snowstorms or at night with flares flashing on and off, Latvian fighters fight hard. The soldier died in a savage and cruel way. One second, his younger brother's head was lowered, and the next second, his elder brother was buried in the mud blown up by the shells.
From the perspective of Altus, Soul Blizzard participated in the battle with the Allies and the Germans in Russia, and experienced a special political period. The same brother who was fighting in the trenches was shot and killed, and turned the gun to fight with Russia. Artus has no time to grieve since his mother was killed, only to keep fighting. He is no longer the boy who once snuggled up in his mother's arms, his home no longer exists, and his life has been turned upside down. With the death of his father and brother, he needs to keep growing until one day he leads the Latvian teenage soldiers, no Stop aiming, shooting, reloading. All he needs is an independent country and a peaceful life.
