Ashes in the Snow
The story began in 1949. In that turbulent period, a 16-year-old ambitious artist and her family were deported to Siberia amid Stalin's brutal dismantling of the Baltic Sea, which could completely change the course. This ambitious girl is trying to change history and achieve the desired dream, where her passion for art may be a furore in history.

Filmmakers never seem to run out of footnotes to history during World War II. This one is better served in the pages of a novel. It doesn't work on film.
