The Poet

In the winter of 1947, a once-celebrated poet and journalist arrives in a remote village to teaching duties. His reputation has been tarnished by his anti-Soviet writings, and the locals are wary of his presence. Despite their suspicions, the children are fascinated by his poetry, especially his verses praising Lenin. As the poet tries to earn the trust of the community, an old friend leads him to a mysterious underground bunker, revealing a hidden resistance movement. Against the backdrop of war and political turmoil, The Poet must choose between his art and his loyalty to the regime.
