Okkupatsiya. Misterii plot
Mysterium Occupation consists of three novellas that intertwine and match each other in tone and atmosphere. During the Second World War, the Belarusian rural population suffered greatly from the terror and occupation of the Nazis, as well as from the Moscow-instructed partisans, who for the most part consist of irregular bandits.

At first I was delighted to find a version with Polish subtitles. That joy was short-lived. The three stories are an insult to the partisan movement in Belarus during World War II. The Soviet partisans operated largely independently without contact with Moscow and were not irregular bandits or inexperienced boys without any theater training but soldiers of the Red Army who were cut off by the German encirclement. In order to stock up on supplies and provisions, villages were plundered and possible collaborators were executed without trial. As a result, the peasants formed militias with the help of the German occupiers and the collaborating police services.
For a good impression, watch Defiance (2008) about the Jewish Bielski partisans in Belarus.
The WORST thing about this monstrosity, however, was the composition of the images. The cameraman can't keep his distance and wants to sit on top of it panting in every scene. Except for a single nice shot of a cat walking down a staircase.
