Little Moscow
(Mala Moskwa)
(Poland, 2008. 114 min. Polish and
Russian with English subtitles)
Legnica, the headquarters for Soviet forces from 1945 to 1990, was nicknamed "Little Moscow." History buffs take note: It's based on real events and takes
place in the period before the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact
Armies. The military decides to move Russian pilot Yuri and his beautiful wife
Vera to Legnica. She learns the language and is fascinated with the music,
poetry, and culture of the country and submerses herself in it all. Vera's charming
performance in a singing contest ignites a deep passion in Polish lieutenant
Michal, and the two have to choose between loyalty and love.
