1944

1944 is a 2015 Estonian war drama film directed by Elmo Nüganen (Names in Marble). In occupied Estonia, Karl Tammik, stationed at the Tannenberg Line, fights in the Waffen-SS while Jüri Jõgi has to serve as an officer in the Red Army. Like thousands of their compatriots, the young Estonians have been forced into the war and simply want to survive. Either they join the Russian occupiers or stand under Hitler's banner in the Waffen-SS. The fate of the two soldiers exemplifies the story of a whole country that was almost crushed between the grindstones of two great powers. 
The movie was selected as the Estonian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated.
