In the Crosswind

"In the Crosswind" is a powerful and poignant drama that brings to life one of the darkest chapters in human history: the forced deportation of 40,000 people from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to Siberia by Stalin's Soviet Union in 1941. Based on a real-life diary, this haunting film follows the story of Erna, a philosophy student and happily married mother, as she faces unimaginable hunger, fear, and brutality while her daughter is taken away from her. Despite the unforgiving circumstances, Erna never loses her sense of freedom and hope for a return to her homeland, leaving an indelible mark on her memory.
