The story is based in an incident in Belarus during the WWII when the tension between Germany and Russian peaked. A railroad worker Sushenya is kidnapped by a guerilla. A train derailed and the guerilla cited Susenya cooperating with German army. However, there is a turnaround when one of the members of the guerilla is shot dead before the execution. The movie, <In the Fog> narrates what has happened to the main characters including Sushenya in the form of flashback. The narrative is paired with historical context and the style helps in understanding that the incident is not someone’s fault, but rather, one of the horrible scenes of warfare. Whether they are guerilla with burning hearts of patriotism or German soldiers who torment the people, they role-play in the scene of a war. Among them stands Sushenya. Interestingly, the person who survives through the chaos happen to be Sushenya, a powerless worker. The film director Loznitsa tells that life goes on with ordinary people. (LEE Sang-yong)
