Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On the Road to Berlin (Doroga na Berlin, aka Road to Berlin) is a 2015 film directed by Sergei Popov.Despite the title, the characters in the story aren't on the road to Berlin and in fact are headed in the other direction. The film is set on the southern portion of the Eastern Front of World War II, as the Germans attack, in an offensive that will eventually end at Stalingrad. Sergey Ogarkov is a smooth-faced young lieutenant who, as the story opens, is carrying orders to army headquarters. Unfortunately for Sergei, Germans burst out of the woods and overrun his location. Sergei survives, running away, but when he's caught by his own people he's charged as a deserted and sentenced to death. (This sort of thing was all too common.)As he awaits his execution Sergei is guarded by Private Dzhurbaev, who is not an ethnic Russian but a Kazakh from central Asia. The order must be confirmed by army headquarters, so Pvt. Dzhurbaev is assigned to escort Sergey back to headquarters. But the Germans are on the march and the Red Army is in headlong retreat, so Sergei and Dzhurbaev wind up going on a harrowing, difficult cross-country march on foot during war.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Distant Finale: The last few minutes of the film skip forward three years, to show the Red Army marching to Berlin in 1945. Sergei, who is still alive, meets an old friend of his and remembers Dzhurbaev.

All for Nothing: Sergei and Dzhurbaev are led by a local boy to a pilot, badly wounded in a crash. They work their butts off to get the pilot to safety, taking him across a river on a raft and then carrying him on a stretcher. They finally get him to Russian lines, but the doctor who receives the pilot amputates both his legs. When the pilot wakes up and finds this out, he kills himself.
