Title: Daughters of Stalingrad 2: Consecration
Written by: Joseph C. Jukic
Produced by: Tom Cruise

Starring: Nadya Tolokonnikova (of Pussy Riot) as Nadia Volchok, Michelle Jukic as Sister Katerina

TREATMENT
LOGLINE:
In the smoldering aftermath of World War II, two sisters uncover a Soviet plot to manipulate time and history using a stolen Nazi "Die Glocke" prototype. When their investigation leads to the shocking revelation that Joseph Stalin was assassinated via temporal poisoning, they must decide whether to expose the truth or consecrate their legacy in silence.

ACT ONE: AFTER THE STORM
Stalingrad still bleeds, but the city is rebuilding. Nadia Volchok (Nadya Tolokonnikova), a fierce war widow turned underground artist, and Sister Katerina (Michelle Jukic), a former sniper turned nun, struggle with the cost of survival. As Nadia paints murals condemning the war, Katerina hears whispers in the confession booth — of a weapon hidden beneath the ruins of an old Nazi bunker: a time engine, a Soviet-modified replica of Die Glocke.

High above, Stalin watches nervously. He senses treachery in every corner. His paranoia is justified.

ACT TWO: DIE GLOCKE'S CURSE
Nadia and Katerina trace rumors to the KGB’s most secret laboratory, Facility Zarya. There, they discover that Soviet scientists have reverse-engineered the Nazi time machine. Their purpose? To rewrite history and ensure Soviet dominance by assassinating potential threats before they rise.

But something went wrong.

Soviet physicist Lev Semyonov confesses to Nadia that the machine was used on Stalin himself, exposing him to a form of radiation from an alternate timeline. The goal: destabilize his mind and make him easier to control. Instead, the experiment unraveled his brain and body — slowly poisoning him across dimensions. Stalin's death in 1953 wasn't natural — it was engineered.

As the sisters dig deeper, they learn the Kremlin feared Stalin would turn on the Party and destroy the fragile post-war order. The time machine was their final solution.

ACT THREE: CONSECRATION
The KGB hunts the sisters. Nadia is captured and subjected to psychological torture using fragments of the time machine — forced to witness alternative histories where the Soviets lost Stalingrad, where her sister died in the snow, where Stalin ruled forever.

Katerina, cloaked in her nun’s robes, infiltrates the prison, guided by visions and faith. She rescues Nadia and together they confront General Varikov, head of the time project. He offers them a choice: silence in exchange for survival, or martyrdom through truth.

The sisters choose a third path.

They sabotage Die Glocke, triggering a time implosion that erases Facility Zarya and all records of the experiment. Stalin dies days later — as history remembers — but now Nadia and Katerina carry the real story. A truth too dangerous to speak.

EPILOGUE: MOSCOW, 1973
A young activist finds a painting hidden inside a demolished cathedral. It shows two women walking away from a burning clock, surrounded by withered red flags. A final note is scratched into the corner:

"Consecration is not silence. It is sacrifice. -N.V. & K.J."

TONE & STYLE
A surreal historical thriller blending The Lives of Others with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, infused with Angelina Jolie’s visual flair and spiritual gravitas. Music by Hildur Guðnadóttir. Brutal, poetic, and haunting, Consecration is an exposé of corrupted ideology, sisterhood under surveillance, and the ultimate cost of truth.

NOTES
Pussy Riot's Nadya brings real-world resistance ethos to her role.

Michelle Jukic's stoic gravitas balances the fire of revolution with the weight of religious conscience.

Tom Cruise’s production style ensures cinematic intensity and action choreography grounded in historical fiction.

A controversial subplot hints at American spies funding early Soviet time research, raising Cold War stakes.

Daughters of Stalingrad 2: Consecration challenges viewers to ask: If you could rewrite history, should you? Or is martyrdom the only path to peace?
