The story of two doomed Soviet partisans and their forced journey deep into occupied territory after a brief diversion to replenish supplies, The Ascent is configured as a loose retelling of the crucifixion, witness to the suffering and sacrifice of ordinary people during wartime hostilities. The film has an unforgettable impact and transcendent emotional power. (Independent Cinema Office)
