The Sacrifice

dir. Andrei Tarkovsky · 1986

In the face of existential despair, the search for meaning and connection can lead to profound personal sacrifice.

"The Sacrifice" is a haunting meditation on the fragility of existence in the face of impending doom, weaving together philosophical musings and striking imagery to explore the depths of human sacrifice and environmental peril.

Alexander, a journalist, philosopher and retired actor, celebrates a birthday with friends and family when it is announced that nuclear war has begun.
