As prisoner of war Clemens Forell, a German soldier during WW II, is sentenced to a labour camp in far east Siberia. After four years working in the mines he escapes from the camp (in 1949) and tries ...( read more  read more... )to get home to his wife and children. For three years he journeys through Siberia. An odyssey of 14,000 kilometers, set against a backdrop of desolate and inhospitable landscape, beset by danger (from both animals and humans). Constantly battling the worst nature can throw at him, Forell makes his way, step by step towards Persia and the longed-for freedom. Sometimes riding on trains, sometimes by boat, mostly on foot, he never knows if his next step won't be his last. His prosecutor Kamenev is always right behind him, and more than once it seems that Forell is captured again...

    My love for Escape movies and P.O.Ws is what made me watch this underrated, practically unknown movie.
    It's all about a german pow held captive in a labour camp in Siberia, escaping the camp on foot and walking out nearly 15.000 kilometers to freedom, to his wife and little kids...( read more).
    A good movie, but it's way overlong and goes at a very slow pace.
    Patience is the key :)

    Not a bad movie..though it seemed a bit like a "tv movie" in style and acting. The story was interetsing and kept me from turning off the DVD. You have to suspend belief a few times and overlook some melodramatic acting/plot devices (like everyone helping the main character takes...( read more) poison and dies...bs). It is an enjoyable watch and definitely not a waste of time.
