影片改编自俄国文豪托尔斯泰的同名作品《战争与和平》，以1812年俄国卫国战争为中心，反映了1805年至1820年的重大事件，包括奥斯特利茨大战、波罗底诺会战、莫斯科大火、拿破仑溃退等。通过对四大家庭以及安德烈、彼埃尔、娜塔莎在战争与和平环境中的思想和行动的描写，展示了当时俄国社会的风貌。该片是苏联著名导演兼演员谢尔盖·邦达尔丘克的扛鼎力作，曾在我国内地上映，上影厂为其配音。

Natasha takes place over the course of one summer. It is the story of Mark Berman, 16, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants living in the suburbs north of Toronto. When his uncle enters into an arranged marriage with woman from Moscow, the woman arrives in Canada with her fourteen year-old daughter, Natasha. Mark, a slacker, is conscripted by his parents to take responsibility for the strange girl. He learns that, in Moscow, she’d led a troubled and promiscuous life. A secret and forbidden romance begins between the two of them that has bizarre and tragic consequences for everyone involved.

1950年代，娜塔莎在苏联一家秘密的研究所内经营食堂，这里汇集了研究所的员工、科学家和外国访客。 娜塔莎的世界很小，她白天在食堂干活，晚上和年轻同事奥利亚一起喝酒，倾诉对浪漫的渴求和对未来的幻想。 在一次聚会之夜，娜塔莎与来访的法国科学家卢克·比格变得亲密起来。 第二天，当克格勃的弗拉基米尔·阿奇波将军对她进行讯问时，她的生活发生了戏剧性的转变。

The film is loosely based on the comic strip of the same name created by screenwriter François Walthéry, which was published by Editions Dupuy, and which comprises 23 albums and has sold more than five million copies. The story follows Natacha, who, since she was a child, has dreamed of becoming an air hostess so that she can break free from the constraints of an age where women are expected to remain at home. Just as her dream is on the verge of becoming a reality, she finds herself involved against her will on an adventure on the trail of a bunch of thieves who have stolen the Mona Lisa.

Jos Stelling's entry into the world of film was effective. The world premiere of his debut film “Mariken van Nieumeghen” took place in 1975 in the Cannes competition programme. Nearly fifty years later, he says the latest film will be his last. It is a shame if this is true. “Natasha's Dance” is a powerful masterpiece, a tribute to the film d'auteur, which he has consistently cultivated as a director. But not just in his works. Stelling also owns several art-house cinemas in his hometown of Utrecht, where, of course, the film d'auteur plays an important role. When Daantje was a withdrawn child, her mother told him that somewhere there was a girl waiting for him who danced beautifully. As an adult, Daantje is a lonely homeless person who happens to meet the former ballerina, Natasha. At first, the woman does not pay much attention to Daantje – the young man is a bit strange. Besides, Natasha has emotional hardships in her relationships. Then an event occurs that makes her want to return to her homeland immediately. Daantje goes with her.
