The Star
In summer 1944 Red Army troops reached
western frontier of the Soviet Union.
Looks like they’ve gone through.
I am sure they have made it.
Marchenko never fails
Yes. Comrade lieutenant,
“first” will be talking to you.
Listening, comrade “first”.
How is it, Travkin?
Has Marchenko gone through?
Not yet.
But is everything quiet?
Everything is quiet for now.
Are you ready to cover the group’s retreat,
if you see red flare?
Yes.
So, the Germans are quiet, aren’t they?
What’s your name?
Private signaller, Simakova.
How do your mom and dad call you?
Katia.
Have you been long on the front line?
It’s my first day.
You are so beautiful, Katia.
Your hand.
My name is Andrei.
Captain Barashkin.
From the headquarters.
See you later, Katia.
Lida!
Lida!
I am here.
I am here, mom.
Look, I found a doll.
Mommy, mommy.
Calm down; I am here with you.
Step aside.
There’s no tourniquet.
Bring the belt.
I went out; and it just blasted.
You are lucky; you’ve survived.
Get the horses back, understand?
