Wikipedia Text

The Cranes Are Flying (Russian: , translit. Letyat zhuravli) is a Soviet film about World War II. It depicts the cruelty of war and the damage suffered to the Soviet psyche as a result of World War II (known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War). It was directed at Mosfilm by the Georgian-born Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov in 1957 and stars Aleksey Batalov and Tatiana Samoilova. It won the Palme d'Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the second of two Soviet films to win the award. However, The Cranes is technically the only Russian film to win the Palme d'Or. The Turning Point (1946), was awarded the Grand Prix (along with other ten films) which was, though, equivalent of the Palme d'Or.
