Film: Snowfall
Nation: Skoden
Directed by acclaimed director Karl Johanesberg and featuring an all-star cast including Oskar winner Michael Johansson, famous for his role in films such as Full Metal Coat and Saving Corporal Bryan, as well as the famed Russian actor Vladimir Crutin, Snowfall was a 2011 box-office hit, critically acclaimed on the international level for it?s humanisation of both Skoden and the Russian Mafia Government. This was a cultural milestone, as the Skodenian populace often holds very negative opinions of the RMG, to the point of near-racism, due to the rash of terrorist attacks from the country. The film is originally filmed in Swedish, but Russian and English options are available. Snowfall?s setting is the front-line of a hypothetical war between the Russian Mafia Government and Skoden, which have been at high hostilities in the real world, hence the inspiration for the film. Filmed in the snowy taiga of Northern Skoden, Snowfall follows the tales of two characters. One character, Frank Orsson, is a soldier of the Skodenian Armed Forces. He is a fresh enlist with no experience of war, forced into the conflict through Skodenian compulsory enlistment. The second character, Nikolai Tchernenko, is a Junior Sergeant in the RMG Armed Forces. Both characters have each suffered through enough turmoils of war that each decide to desert their respective armies at roughly the same time, with their minds in effectively the same place. As both are fleeing, they encounter one another. Each mistakes the other for a member of the opposing army. Tchernenko is the first to his pistol, and shoots Orsson in the chest three times. Upon reaching the wounded Skodenian, it becomes revealed that both are deserters, and could easily have worked together had circumstances been different. Medical supplies were unavailable, and Orsson is cared for with very makeshift medical supplies fashioned from sticks, torn fatigues, and snow. Orsson tells Tchernenko the events leading up to his escape, flashing back to a week prior. It highlights the atrocities he had seen- prisoner executions, people he knew dying in battle-, and the horrible actions he was forced to conduct- slaughtering russians on their knees, begging for mercy. The sequence, totalling around 45 minutes, concludes with Orsson deserting his post, sprinting through the snow into the seemingly infinite Taiga. The scene cuts back to the present. Orsson?s condition has only gotten worse. The snow is stained red with Orsson?s blood. Tchernenko looks at Orsson, feeling empathy for him. He tells Orsson his tale. Rather than from the viewpoint of an enlisted soldier, Tchernenko?s story is from the viewpoint of a Non-Commissioned Officer. He must watch as his subordinates, those he was sworn to protect, were killed in battle. He had to give orders he felt shouldn't have been given that often resulted in death. He felt responsible for every soldier killed under his command. By Russian law, he is required to stay in service until his tour is over, with the only exception being death. After deducting that there was no legal way to go home, he deserts his camp. The scene once again cuts to the present day. Orsson has died, succumbed to his wounds. a Skodenian patrol comes upon the body of Orsson, and Tchernenko, in Russian uniform, sitting in front of a tree nearby. The patrol understandably believes Tchernenko killed Orsson. Tchernenko?s eyes meet those of the man in front of the patrol. The Skodesman's eyes are swimming with rage. Tchernenko?s are full of acceptance, welcoming death. He has nothing more to lose. The scene goes into slow-motion. The skodenian frontman flicks the safety of his rifle. Tchernenko smiles. The frontman?s finger moves to the trigger. Tchernenko?s eyes close shut. The scene fades to black? roll credits.
