Winner of the "Nika," Russia's equivalent of the Academy Award®, for Best Picture and an Academy-Award selection for Best Foreign Film, "9th Company" chronicles the Soviet Afghanistan conflict, which started in 1979. Ten years and 14,000 casualties later, the conflict formally ended, and soon thereafter so did the Soviet Union itself. However, for the thousands of soldiers who entered a mountainous country that has successfully fought of invaders for centuries, they would come face-to-face with not only an inscrutable—and seemingly indestructible—enemy, but also with the despairing realization that everything they fought for was slowly crumbling around them. (Gary Reber)
