Eagle's Nest

«Eagle's Nest» — the second part of the artistic-documentary trilogy by Elena Syanova, dedicated to the history of the fascist Third Reich and the fates of its leaders. The action takes place in 1937-1939 — the peak of Adolf Hitler's... power, the period from the annexation of Austria to the beginning of World War II. «I received so many documents, — the author recounts, — that this entire period could literally be chronometrically accounted for, providing the text with references to sources».

A woman attempts to fight against the impending catastrophe. «The paradise and hell of Margarita Hess — the story of a woman who rejected everything for which her husband and brother fought».
