'Some part of me still listens for the engine noise...'
Wings is a quiet film about a woman who once lived in the air and now lives on the ground. Nadezhda, a former fighter pilot, has become a school headmistress in a provincial Soviet town. She is respected, but she is not understood. The war gave her a purpose and a scale of experience that everyday life cannot match. The film watches her move through ordinary spaces; a classroom, a cafeteria, a modest apartment- while her mind returns to the sky and to the intensity of the past. She tries to fulfill her role in the present but something in her has already taken flight and does not return. Her restlessness has no outlet; her pride has no audience, her solitude is not dramatic- only persistent. Shepitko films her heroine with steadiness and respect, allowing silence to speak about what cannot be spoken of. The result is a film about a kind of displacement that has nothing to do with geography, about being alive in the wrong time, carrying memories too large for the everyday and learning that glory does not prepare a person for peace.
This film is chosen by Elisabeth.
