Based on the novel by Alexander Neverov.

Quote:
The Volga region, 1921. The civil war has recently broken out, but another disaster has come to replace it – a great drought which dries the land of the Volga region. The crop failure gives birth to a mass famine. In order to somehow help his mother and younger brothers, the peasant boy Misha Dodonov, along with his friend, Sergei, goes to Tashkent to find work.

Quote:
Beautifully shot in black and white, and scripted by Tarkovsky’s collaborator Andrei Konchalovsky, this powerful melodrama tells the story of a young boy who undertakes the perilous journey to Uzbekistan’s capital Tashkent, to earn some money for his hungry family. Filming in the periphery of the Soviet Union, in a time of relative political relaxation, director Shukhrat Abbasov actually dared to depict the poverty and famine that resulted from the Bolshevik Revolution.
