Plot synopsis
This screen version of Yuri Gorianov's novel is dedicated to all the tireless workers of the north, who spend their working days working hard and worrying.
The events of the film take the viewer to the end of the summer of 1973 in the Far North, where, by the will of fate, the life paths of the main characters of this story have crossed - a former prisoner, a promising young engineer and a corrupt party leader.
The film was shot in a patriotic style, in vivid colors, really telling about that distant time, how and what the Soviet citizens were experiencing back then. The filmmakers spoke with great love about the everyday life of ordinary people, their typical problems and joys.
