Ballada o soldate (1959)




During World War II, a 19 year old soldier  asks for a few days leave to visit his mother and on the train eastwards he meets a gril who is on her way to her aunt.

I finally got to see this Russian classic, and I'm quite convinced! Despite some reviews complaining about some sentimentality, I thought it was bitter sweet with a touching and shy love story.
