在这部黑色的白桦树战争片中,《黑色的白桦树》是苏联白俄罗斯电影制片厂一组中青年创作人员于1979年摄制的（编剧B.阿尔希波维奇、M.别列兹柯、C.波里阔夫，导演B.切特维里柯夫，主角安德烈·赫马拉由青年演员叶夫盖尼·卡列尔斯基扮演）。
该片描写主人公安德烈在战争中的命运。在漫长的战争道路上，他经受了爱情的折磨，丧失了许多亲人和战友。战火把他熔炼成一个强者，把他镶炼得更纯洁和坚强。
影片中，战争是作为衡量一个人的道德标准来描写的。苏联评论认为，影片作者把片名定为《黑色的白桦树》决不是偶然的。黑色的白桦树——这是经过战火冶炼的人的命运的象征，这是战胜者的命运。黑色的白桦树——这是战士的道德力量、他的勇敢精神和美丽心灵的纪念碑。
Jonathan Anselme (Harry Treadaway), a young English academic, teams up with Max Bohm (Danny Keogh), an amateur ornithologist, to follow storks on their migration from Switzerland to Africa. Max wants to find out why some birds never return from this journey. However, after Max is found dead in mysterious circumstances, Jonathan decides to make the trip alone, never suspecting that he will find himself caught up in an international web of intrigue. While Swiss Detective Hervé Dumaz (Clemens Schick) investigates Max Bohm's murky past, Jonathan is forced to confront his own troubled history. He uncovers a trail of grisly murders travelling through Bulgaria, Turkey, the Middle East, and the Congo, along the pathway of the migrating storks and their deadly secret.
