Connected by Time

A love that outlasted the war and sixty-seven years apart. Connected by Time (2010) is a Russian wartime drama you can watch online on iFILM.

The film runs on two timelines — 1943 and the present, Russia and Germany. Two young lieutenants, one Russian and one German, are set against each other by the front: opposite oaths, opposite hatreds. A sliver of quiet in the middle of the fighting throws them together, and both fall for the same girl. The ceasefire can't last; each is called back to his own side.

Director Alexei Kolmogorov rhymes the frontline story with its echo a generation later, where rescue arrives by something close to the supernatural. The 18+ rating signals melodrama with sharp edges. Stream Connected by Time (2010) online on iFILM.
