Two Prosecutors (12A)

2025 France, Germany, Netherlands, Latvia, Romania, Lithuania, Ukraine

Dir. Sergey Loznitsa

Set in 1930’s Stalinist Russia and based on a story by the dissident author and scientist Georgy Demidov who spent 14 years in the gulag. Against all odds, a letter from a falsely accused prisoner reaches the desk of the newly appointed local prosecutor, Alexander Kornyev. In the face of obfuscation and delay by the authorities, Kornyev does his utmost to meet the prisoner, a victim of agents of the secret police, the NKVD. A dedicated Bolshevik of integrity, the young prosecutor suspects foul play. His quest for justice will take him all the way to the office of the Attorney General in Moscow. In the age of the great Stalinist purges, this is the plunge of a man into the dark corridors of a totalitarian regime.
