In the early 1960s, the East-German film distributor VEB Progress Film-Verleih published some series of big cards for East-European films. Earlier we did a post on
the French-Czechoslovakian co-production La liberté surveillée/Provisional Liberty (Henri Aisner, Vladimír Vlcek, 1958) with Marina Vlady and Robert Hossein. Na semi vetrakh/Four Winds of Heaven (Stanislav Rostotskiy, 1962) is a Russian drama about the homefront during the Second World. The beautiful Larisa Luzhina plays the lead role, a peasant girl waiting for her beloved to return from the front.

In the Russian war drama Na semi vetrakh (Stanislav Rostotskiy, 1962) a simple Russian girl, Svetlana Ivashova (Larisa Luzhina) arrives in a small, back-water town to meet her boyfriend Igor.
But the Second World War has begun and Igor has left to join the army. Svetlana decides to stay, to wait for his return and for the war to end.
Svetlana patiently waits in the post office, where her boyfriend works, for the war to end, and she does all she can to help defeat the Nazis. Sometimes she works on a newspaper.
When the post office is temporarily used as a hospital, she works as a nurse. Her hard work earns her a medal. Eventually Svetlana and her lover are happily reunited.
In the US Na semi vetrakh was titled Four Winds of Heaven and in the UK In Seven Winds.
Other actors in the cast were Vyacheslav Tikhonov as Captain Suzdalev, Klara Luchko as Doctor Natalia Guseva and Leonid Bykov as Postman.
