Winter Journey (Russian: Зимний путь, translit. Zimniy put') is a 2013 Russian drama film about a young classical singer who falls in love with a street thug. The film takes its title from a Schubert song cycle, Winterreise, that the hero, Erik, a music student, is practising for a competition.

Plot

Music student and gifted singer, Erik, is preparing to sing Schubert's Winterreise for a competition. As his teacher slams him for his poor performance, Erik's life is changed irrevocably by a chance meeting with Lyokha, a coarse and aggressive petty criminal.

Cast

Reception

The Dutch film director Jos Stelling described the film as "a genuine film... went straight to my heart. The theme of the alleged homosexuality hardly played a role for me... To me this film sometimes approached the status of a masterpiece for its cinematographic values".
