Plot Summary

It is 1991, and Anna Marshall (played by Harriet Walter) is listening to the news on her television, which announces the resignation of the Russian president, Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Soon, a man wearing a wolf mask breaks into her home, but Anna is prepared. She tases and ties him up in her bedroom. He is a neo-Nazi who demands to know the truth behind the mission that she had undertaken after World War II ended. Anna blows a secret powder in his face, paralyzing him as she begins to narrate the events that unfolded in time.We are now back in Poland, 1945. The war has just come to an end, but there are still things to be done. Anna, who went by the name Brana Vasilyeva (played by Charlotte Vega), is part of a small troop of Russian soldiers who are on a secret mission to transfer Hitler's dead body to Stalin in Moscow. Their earlier plan of transferring it by aircraft has been discarded; now, they are going to carry the body as they travel along the road.They set out in a military truck with the coffin containing Hitler's mortal remains nestled in the back of the truck, conveniently hiding it in the ground by digging holes whenever they stopped for rest. The journey is far from smooth, but it soon becomes tough when they realize that they are being followed and attacked by a group of Nazis. These Nazis prefer to dress up as wolfs, wearing the skin of wild bears as they pelt bullets upon this Russian mission to secure the body for themselves so that they can make a tape for the world, disproving Hitler's death.After escaping from the werewolf Nazis in the first round, the Russian soldiers decide to make a pit stop in the woods for the night. While their now nominal head goes to the local tavern for a drink with a few men, Brana is insistent about the danger lurking around them. She follows him to the tavern, saves the young woman he was assaulting, and meets a young man, Lukasz (played by Tom Felton). Soon, the werewolf Nazis are upon them. They kill some of the people in the troop, but they are forced to leave without the coffin because of the timely intervention by Brana and the company.Brana asks Lukasz for shelter, and he leads them to an elderly couple's place nearby. The couple is hesitant about sheltering the Russians and wants to know what the coffin contains. Eventually, the corpse of Hitler is revealed. On the other hand, the tavern girl was on a run when Tor Oleynik (played by Barry Ward) confronts her about the ending of the war and the villains. However, the werewolf Nazis arrive on the spot, killing the girl and taking Ilyasov hostage. Brana stresses the fact that Stalin wants to look at the dead Hitler with his own eyes when she and Lucasz go to hide the corpse in a small church nearby the next morning. Lucasz also opens up about his real identity with Bran and both of them share a brief moment of vulnerability about their lives and the war. Oleynik is tortured by the Nazis to reveal the secret hiding spot of the corpse but before they can get any information out of him, a Nazi informant declares that the Russian troop has been found.Fighting ensues between both parties as the Nazis attack the house of the elderly couple from the outside and the Russians seal it from the inside. Soon, they lose Hitler's corpse to the Nazis. But the Russians have a plan! They attack the church where the Nazis had nestled to record video evidence claiming that Hitler wasn't dead. More fighting and loss of life later, the church is burnt to the ground. Lucasz and Brana have survived to remember and tell the story of this mission.Back in 1991, Anna shows the captive Neo-Nazi in her bedroom a small token she had kept with herself from the incident. She poisons the captive, angry at him for having killed Lucasz in a similar break-in episode a few days ago. The contents of the box are left undisclosed to the audience. (thanks to highonfilms)
