The mood
Intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1958: an older pace and style.

The film portrays the life of the legendary Azerbaijani guerrilla of the Second World War Mehdi Huseynzadeh, who fought the Nazi forces in the present-day Italy and Slovenia, hence the film's name On distant shores referring to the Adriatic Sea.
