Grigori Chukhrai’s 1959 Soviet war drama follows Alyosha, a young Russian soldier granted a six-day leave during World War II. As he travels home to visit his mother, the kindhearted signalman becomes sidetracked helping those he encounters, from fellow soldiers to civilians affected by the war’s devastation. Along the way, he meets Shura, a spirited young woman traveling to see her wounded boyfriend, and the two form a connection amid the chaos surrounding them. Chukhrai balances romance, comedy, and melodrama while exploring themes of patriotism and human compassion during wartime.

This Criterion Collection DVD release presents the film in its original black-and-white format with English subtitles, running 88 minutes. The single disc is not rated and comes from Union Film Distributors Inc. A hand-inspected copy of this acclaimed Soviet classic costs a fraction of what you would pay for a new release.
