The Downs Here Are Quiet 這裡的黎明靜悄悄 (2015)
Synopsis
The story is set in Karelia (near Finland) in 1942 during World War II and was filmed near Ruskeala. Senior Sergeant Vaskov is stationed with a group of young female anti-aircraft gunners in a railway station far from the front line. Vaskov is not used to these gunners’ active, playful personalities and therefore clashes with them over daily issues. But Vaskov, being the only man in the village, has to accommodate them in many cases. One day, two German paratroopers appear in the forest nearby. Thinking that they may sabotage military facilities, Vaskov and five of the women attempt to stop the Germans. They pick a perfect defense position, only to find that there are sixteen paratroopers instead of two. Though outgunned and outnumbered, Vaskov decides to hold the Germans for as long as possible. He also sends one of his soldiers out for reinforcements, but while she is trudging through a swamp, she drowns in a quagmire. Vaskov and the remaining four fight the Germans…
故事发生在1942年夏天。瓦斯科夫准尉无奈接受了上级指派的兵力，带领一班“不喝酒”的穿短裙女兵驻扎在一个小车站旁的村子里。车站周围是战略要地，敌机经常来轰炸或骚扰。但是女兵的到来却给这个几十户人家的小村子带来了一缕清新的气息。
一个黎明，班长丽塔在邻近的树林里发现了德寇。于是，瓦斯柯夫带领一支由丽塔、冉尼娅、丽萨、嘉尔卡、索妮娅等五个姑娘组成的小分队到林中去搜捕德寇。准尉和他的女战士们涉过沼泽，穿过森林，终于扼住了敌人通往铁路的必经之道。出乎意料的是，德军不是两个人，而是整整十六个人……最后，精疲力竭的瓦斯科夫俘虏了全部德国人回到兵站…
