Aktrisa tells the story of a famous Soviet operetta singer during the Second World War. Zoya Strelnikova works in the theater and therefore travels a lot. In one of the cities, she needs an apartment to settle for some time. There she meets an old lady whose apartment it is she is going to be living in. The old lady doesn't like Zoya in the slightest because she thinks that at this very moment everybody should be helping in the war. If somebody who is capable of doing so doesn't help, they don't care about the people who are dying.

This makes a great impact on Zoya and she decides to leave the scene and become a nanny in a military hospital to help in the war. This is where she meets a blindfolded wounded soldier. They quickly get along and start spending more time together talking about various things.

The soldier completely disagrees with the mindset that everybody has to be participating in the war. He thinks that the moment art will be gone from the soldiers' lives, everything will get even worse. The two fall in love with each other.

When the soldier gets his eyes unfolded again and goes back to fight in the war, Zoya starts traveling along the frontier and giving concerts for the soldiers.

Aktrisa is a pretty simple movie but one with a great meaning. That art will always have to be there to help us remember the good things even during the bad times.

The acting is great, the screenwriting and directing are also very good. That's a great movie to have during a World War. Recommend watching, 8/10.
