Trees Grow on the Stones Too (Russian: И на камнях растут деревья) is a 1985 Soviet adventure drama film directed by Knut Andersen and Stanislav Rostotsky.
[1][2][3] The film is set in the violent world of 9th-century Viking raids, where a captured Slavic boy must navigate battles, betrayal, and forbidden love as he seeks to reclaim his freedom and identity.
A band of Norwegian Vikings, led by Thorir and Einar, attacks a Slavic village where all the men have perished fighting Danish invaders.
Sigurd, a fierce and independent berserker, is ill-suited to the ambitions of Signe's mother, Tyra, who prefers the clever and fortunate Kuksha as a match for her daughter.
Kuksha, however, harbors a deep desire to escape and return to his homeland, determined to reclaim his freedom and identity amid the chaos of a war-torn era.
