In 1918, shortly after the Soviet Socialist Revolution in October, the Red Army soldier Savelyev went to Moscow and was assassinated by counter-revolutionaries at a small station. The sons Vasya and Misha have just lost their mothers, and now they have lost their fathers, and they have no choice but to wander into Moscow. Lenin and Dzerzhinsky met the two children and took them in and took care of them.
Reviews
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
