Archangel

Set amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the October Revolution in Arkhangelsk during the 1919 Allied intervention, the film narrates the compelling tale of Lt. John Boles, a Canadian soldier with a prosthetic leg. When he is rescued from the harsh Russian winter by an eccentric local family, a series of events unfold that lead him to mistakenly believe that a local woman bears a striking resemblance to his long-lost lover. As Lt. John Boles becomes entangled in this impassioned web of misunderstandings and emotional turmoil, the film masterfully explores themes of loss, identity, and human connection amidst the chaotic landscape of war and political upheaval.
