Through the Ashes of the Empire (Romanian: Prin cenușa imperiului) is a 1976 Romanian war drama film directed by Andrei Blaier.
[1][2] It is a picaresque tale of betrayal, survival and coming of age based on the novel Jocul cu moartea [ro] by Zaharia Stancu.
In 1917, during World War I, the Diplomate and young Darie escape from a Bucharest occupied by the German Army only to come across, as they progress 'through the ashes' of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the sufferance, despair, generosity and heroism that will lead them to very different conclusions.
