Plot synopsis
Young Pskovite Nikita grows up in a large and friendly working-class family. But he did not see his father - the elders explained to the boy that he was on a long expedition on a drifting ice floe. In fact, Nikita’s mother nine years ago, seeing that her husband, Arctic explorer Sergei Ivanov, was burdened by his family, left him with his tiny son. After a conversation with her grandmother, Nikita decides that a misfortune befell her father on the expedition. He secretly runs away from home and makes his way to Leningrad, to the Institute of Arctic Development, so that he can be sent to help his father. The boy refuses to give his name and address. Until they are clarified, Nikita is assigned to take care of... Ivanov, who is really preparing for a long expedition. Having become attached to the boy, Sergei for the time being does not suspect that Nikita is his son. Having learned about this from his grandmother, who flew to Leningrad in search of her grandson, he is happy. And Ivanov’s expedition in the Leningrad port is accompanied by his wife and son, to whom he promises to return in a year.
