Anna and her father fled Estonia during WW II and moved to England. At the time, she believed that her mother was dead. In 1989, Anna's father dies and shortly thereafter she finds a bunch of old photographs and letters. Reading them, she begins to reassemble a clearer picture of her long-forgotten past as well as that of her father, who rarely spoke of himself. Most disturbingly, she believes that she has found evidence that her mother (whose story unfolds via flashback) may have survived. This drama chronicles Anna's return to tumultuous Estonia to learn the truth. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The boisterous good humor of Jurmala (Mikk Mikiver), the nickel-mine owner, is, if anything, only barely dented by the raging battles in Finland before, during and after World War Two. In fact, everywhere he goes, he meets prospective customers on all sides of the conflict with his all-inclusive greeting "Friends, Comrades." Indeed, the resource he is wrenching from the earth's bowels is necessary to all forms of industrial activity, and is especially necessary for military applications. Thus, he has no reason to fear that he will ever run out of customers. This doesn't prevent him from using every possible means to entice them. At home, his relationship with his wife is not so prosperous, and they resort to some extraordinary means to try and keep on an even keel. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This Russian movie combines elements from the mystery and sci-fi genres. The story centers around a police inspector who is called to a strange hotel located in a remote part of the Ala-Tau mountains of Kazakhstan. There he finds some very odd guests. He finds himself subjected to increasingly bizarre events. Soon he begins to suspect that the "guests" are not of this world. To figure them out he must totally alter his thinking processes to match theirs. Their way of analyzing things is truly alien. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
