Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sunstroke is a 2014 film from Russia directed by Nikita Mikhalkov.The film plays out on two narrative tracks. The first scene shows a bunch of Russian officers in 1920, in a prisoner-of-war camp. They are from Baron Wrangel's White army, recently forced to surrender by the Bolsheviks as the Russian Civil War is coming to an end. The officers are surrendering their weapons and agreeing to give up fighting against the new Soviet state, in return for their parole and a ticket out of Russia.Among the prisoners in the gray, muddy, sad ad how camp is an unnamed lieutenant. As the depressed soldiers sit around and wonder where it all went wrong, the lieutenant casts his mind back to 1907, and an idyllic boat ride down the Volga River. In this, the second narrative track, the lieutenant remembers a night of passion with an also unnamed woman that he met on the boat.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Based on two works by Nobel Prize-winning Russian Ivan Bunin: his short story "Sunstroke" (the 1907 storyline) and his diary of the Revolution and Civil War, Cursed Days.

Binocular Shot: The woman on the boat first sees the lieutenant when she looks at hi through a pair of binoculars, with the standard two circles.

Downer Ending: The lieutenant and all the other White officers are killed when the Reds, who tricked them on the boat with a promise of free passage out of Russia, instead deliberately sink the boat.

Flashback B-Plot: The 1920 story, with the lieutenant stuck in a POW holding pen, is intercut throughout with a series of flashbacks to his happy memories of a boat ride down the Volga thirteen years earlier.

Downer Beginning: The opening scenes find the lieutenant and his fellow officers in a damp, muddy POW enclosure, enduring the humiliation of surrender to the Bolsheviks.
