1945, Leningrad. World War II has devastated the city, demolishing its buildings and leaving its citizens in tatters, physically and mentally. Although the siege – one of the worst in history – is finally over, life and death continue their battle in the wreckage that remains. Two young women, Iya and Masha, search for meaning and hope in the struggle to rebuild their lives amongst the ruin.

Declaration
film director
“It was important for me to show the consequences of war through people’s faces, eyes, bodies, not just through abandoned or destroyed buildings. On a surface level, beanpole is a word that describes the physical attributes of our main hero, Iya, as she’s a very tall woman. But for me beanpole is more about clumsiness and this is how my heroes feel and express feelings in the film – they are clumsy, they are learning how to live again after the war and it is very difficult for them.”
