In the snow-covered landscape north of the Ukraine, two Russian soldiers are captured when they become separated from their platoon. Confined to a prison camp, each man embarks on a moral and spiritual struggle with the meaning and value of staying alive when set against the ideals of patriotism and commitment. Admission is free for MMA members or with paid Museum admission. Films are presented and introduced by E.J. Hamacher, a film scholar and instructor at Muskegon Community College.
