Based on the true story of Josef M. Bauer's internationally bestselling novel „As far as my Feet will Carry me“, this powerful epic captures the incredible journey of German soldier Clemens Forell in his dramatic escape from a Siberian labour camp after World War II.


Through the bitter cold of winter, desolate landscapes, and life threatening adventures, Forell - determined to return to his beloved family - makes his way, step by step, day by day, towards Persia and the longed-for freedom. 8,000 miles and three endless years of uncertainty later, he is finally about to reach his destination…

Director of photography Pavel Lebeshev is known for Nikita Michalkov’s „Family Relations, or „Barber of Siberia“ (1998). He has been nominated for the NIKITA-Award – the „Russian Oscar“ - for Dimitri Meshkinger’s „Over the Dark Water“ (1993).
In 2000 Pavel Lebeshev has been honoured, together with composer Edward Artemyev, by Russian president Vladimir Putin in person, for his outstanding merits in „The Barber of Siberia“
