The Ascent background

The Ascent

Two Soviet partisans embark on a treacherous winter expedition to forage for sustenance, navigating the harsh environment while confronting the darkness within themselves.

Two Soviet partisans venture out to scavenge for food in the harsh winter of World War II, only to be arrested by a Nazi patrol after finding a sheep at a German official's home. While one partisan remains loyal to his convictions, refusing to betray his comrades despite brutal torture, the other is torn between loyalty and self-preservation.
