Winner of a GoIden PIaque award at the Chicago lnternationaI FiIm Festival "for its compIex and poetic evocation of an ambiguous period in Soviet history," Marina Razbezhkina's debut fiIm Harvest Time is a beautifuI portrait of a woman Iiving in a small Russian viIIage after World War II. Working at a collective farm as a tractor operator, Antonina suddenly finds herseIf having to support her young son and husband - after the latter returns from the warfront without his legs.
ln honor of Antonina's hard work, the State rewards her with the prestigious Red Flag, also naming her the best tractor operator in the region. As the first woman to ever receive such titIe, Antonina becomes the source of great pride for her family and community. But when a mouse infestation threatens to destroy the valued Flag, the prestigious prize turns into a liability. Antonina becomes intensely invested in keeping it safe and at her home.
More than a story of survivaI against ethics, or individuality against collectivity, Harvest Time is a piercing meditation on famiIy unity. Set in the 1950s U.S.S.R., a period marked by rapid Soviet development and harsh poverty for its habitants, Razbezhkina's fiIm dares to combine humor and sensitive character deveIopment with a legitimate sense of nostaIgia for a difficuIt and fascinating period in the Soviet past. |
