There is a World War II movie that I remember with the same scenario
called "The Cuckoo." It synopsis follows:
September 1944, in a land torn apart by war, a Finnish sniper is
labeled a coward by his compatriots; as punishment, he is nailed to a
rock and left to his own devices. Not long after, a disgraced Russian
Captain, en route to his court martial, is injured in an accident. Both
men are about to find out they have one thing in common. Wounded and
emotionally tortured, they are taken in by Anni, a young, resourceful
war widow, who offers shelter to one while nursing the other back to
health. None of them understands the others' languages, but it doesn't
seem to matter. Isolated, the three unlikely roommates - a Finn, a
Russian and a Lapp - overcome both comic and tragic misunderstandings
to form a passionate three-way...relationship. Because after a day of
hard work on Anni¹s farm, who needs words?
