Ballad Of A SoldierBallad of a Soldier, (Баллада о солдате, Ballada o soldate) is a 1959 Soviet Union award-winning motion picture drama directed by Grigori Chukhrai that is set in World War II. Ballad of a Soldier is not primarily a "war story" but recounts, within the context of the turmoil of war, various kinds of love: the romantic love of a young couple, the committed love of a married couple, and a mother's love of her child. The film tells the story of a young soldier making his way through the countryside during the first few months of the war at a time when the Soviet Union seemed destined to fall to the powerful Nazi onslaught. Awarded a six-day pass for destroying two German tanks, Alyosha (Vladimir Ivashov) makes his way home to visit his mother. However, his journey changes when he hops a freight train and discovers a young girl stowed away in the railcar. Production Running time: 89 min Primary cast Awards External links
