The Russian House Film Club in Brussels invites you to a screening of the legendary film “Fate of a Man”, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. This iconic masterpiece of Soviet cinema, directed by Sergei Bondarchuk and based on the novella of the same name by Mikhail Sholokhov, is one of the most poignant films about the tragedy of war and the strength of the human spirit.

The film tells the story of soldier Andrei Sokolov, who endured the horrors of the Great Patriotic War, captivity, and the loss of his family, yet never lost his ability to feel compassion and hope. The film not only reveals the harsh truth about war but also fills the hearts of viewers with faith in the courage and resilience of the human soul.

The film club meeting will not only pay tribute to the heroes of the war but also serve as an important conversation about human values that remain relevant today.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Russian House in Brussels to remember this great feat together and to connect with history through cinema.
