The Cranes Are Flying(1957)

Two lovebirds stroll around Moscow until late at night, and in the morning discover that the Soviet Union is at war. The young man is called up for frontline service, while his girlfriend remains in Moscow and ends up marrying another man.

The film is not recommended to those of an overly sensitive disposition. The jury at Cannes in 1958 sobbed so much that they awarded it the festival’s highest award, the Palme d’Or.
