Based on the story of Vasily Bykov "Sotnikov".
Nazi-occupied Belarus. Sotnikov officer and a soldier Fisherman sent from the forest to the village to get food to the guerrillas, including women and children. They were overtaken by the Germans. Physically weak Sotnikov held out against the torture and execution of adopted and fisherman, on his knees for mercy molivshy, has agreed to become
policeman.

1976. Larisa Shepitko ends "Ascent" - a film about the war, which inevitably has to get on the shelf, because "instead of partisan history - is said to regulatory agencies - removed" religious parable with a mystical touch. "

The picture on the Belarusian material, the novel by Vasil Bykov, "Sotnikov" ... And the husband of Larisa Yefimovna Elem Klimov decided to take a desperate step. Bypassing the "Mosfilm", he invites you to a special preview of the first secretary of the Central Committee of Belarus Masherova ordered that at this time he himself takes a big canvas with apocalyptic war called "Come and See". Peter Myronovych skeptical about "babyu" direction, but still has a courtesy Klimov.

The film brought in Minsk directly from the lab, almost wet. Somehow charge, and twenty minutes later nothing can tear Masherova from view. Somewhere in the middle of the film, strong man, very partisan, crying unashamedly that is present in the hall of the entire leadership of the republic. At the end, he says, about forty minutes ... His speech was thrilled she's one of the best ever heard ale Germanovich to the wife.

After a few days, "Ascent" and formally adopted without any amendment. The tape has a resounding success and excellent rolling fate: in Riga, she takes the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival - the most prestigious award Finpress, and eventually bought forty countries around the world.

After the display, where it is the film itself, whether in his homeland or abroad, to Shepitko fit people with tearful eyes and give thanks, thanks ...
- There has not been partisan - speak to her. But Larissa care otherwise. Curiously peering into eye contact, she worried asks:
"But it's not really about the war. Did you understand?"
Any personal picture, but the desire to put "Rise" was almost a physical need. If I had not shot this picture, it would be for me to crash. I could not find any other material which could be able to pass as his views on life, the meaning of life. @ Larisa Shepitko
