Father and Son

Directed by Margarita Barskaya

With Lev Sverdlin, Gennadiy Volovich, Vyacheslav Novikov, Mikhail Tarkhanov and Yevdokia Schastlivtseva

While a factory director is distracted by production problems, his adolescent son suffers from loneliness. His mother is dead, and the father – a kind man and exemplary communist, winner of a Lenin Prize – is unable to find the time to educate his son, or a way to express his feelings. After an argument, the young boy runs away and, at his own risk, joins a band of criminals.
