May Stars (Russian: Майские звезды, Czech: Májové hvězdy) is a 1959 Soviet-Czechoslovak war film directed by Stanislav Rostotsky.

Plot

The film consists of four vignettes depicting life in post-war Prague in May 1945. In the first story, a Soviet general, visiting a random Czech home, encounters a young boy and is reminded of the family he lost during the siege of Leningrad. In the second, a sapper searching for chalk at a local school finds himself falling in love with the schoolteacher. The third story follows a Prague resident who, upon returning from Auschwitz, discovers his apartment occupied by a Sudeten German who has been shooting at passersby, prompting intervention by Soviet tank crews. In the final vignette, a Soviet sergeant, boarding a city tram, recalls his pre-war profession and asks to take the conductor's position for a moment.
