First Oscar

[4] In 1941, as German forces approach Moscow at the start of the Great Patriotic War, two young student cameramen, Lev Alperin and Ivan Maisky, choose not to evacuate and instead seek permission to film on the front lines.

When the evacuation begins, they refuse to leave and go to the front: Yuna joins a concert troupe to perform for soldiers, while Lev and Ivan become military cameramen.

Their rivalry continues on the battlefield, but the devastating realities of war and the bravery of Soviet soldiers change their perspectives, allowing them to capture footage that will become iconic.

[6] The leading roles in the film First Oscar will be performed by Tikhon Zhiznevsky, Anton Momot, Darya Zhovner, and Andrey Merzlikin.

In addition, Hollywood actors were invited to participate in the film, including Oscar nominee Michael Lerner and Austin Basis.
