Go and see Avatar. It is miraculous.
I fell asleep watching a movie without subtitles. There are nazis and villagers and deep snow. I worried that the boy was running in the snow without gloves. It looked very cold. Some local soldiers come and they are given a feast. The older woman helps deliver a baby. They're all drinking a clear alcohol. They put it in their coffee. Everyone is ragged. Then there is a massacre. Even the dogs are shot. The language sounds Slavic. I'm free to make up the story.
Later the female lead comes back to the place where it all happened. The old woman is still there. They are both wearing kerchiefs and the old woman begins to laugh. She had tried to teach the younger one the names of local herbs. The younger one made up fanciful names for the plants and gave them specific healing properties, all wrong.
On Pandora, the planet in Avatar, the plants are phosphorescent. Oh yeah.

Thanks for the warning about shooting dogs.
Well, the movie I referred to was called Velerey. It was subtitled but I forgot to turn the subtitles on.
In Avatar on Pandora they shoot dogs too but they are made of metal or something...
