Sinekatalog’s take

A tribute to the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, built around a celebrated war pilot's story. It is emotionally forceful and openly patriotic, with heavy historical weight. Recommended for viewers who value history told with passion and tragedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
