The Edge (Russian: Край, translit. Kray) is a 2010 Russian drama film directed by Alexei Uchitel. The film was nominated for the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was also selected as the Russian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards but it didn't make the final shortlist.
Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired all U.S. rights to The Edge which was negotiated with Sergei Bespalov, president of Sunrise Films.
At the end of WW2 thousands of former P.O.W.s, repatriated from Germany, were sent to Siberia by Stalin, to be ‘re-educated.’ The Edge is set in one such labour camp, on the edge of a dense forest. Despite being a war hero, Ignat, a disgraced train engineer, is sent to the camp as punishment for destroying the fastest train in the Soviet Union during a reckless race. A proud and overbearing man, he manages to turn the entire camp against himself after he discovers a German woman hiding in the forest and refuses to hand her over to the authorities.
