---=Info (Wikipedia)=--------------------------
A boy and his mother try to get by in the Soviet Union of the 1950s. The boy's father is a soldier who died in the war before his birth. Jump to 1952: Katya and her son Sanya are poor and desperate. On a train, they meet a handsome, rakish soldier, Tolyan, who makes a play for Katya. She accepts. Tolyan pretends to be Katya's husband and uses his credentials as a war veteran to get an apartment without paying money in advance and becomes everyone's favorite through his good looks and generosity. He turns out to be a brutal and abusive man. He teaches Sanya his ruthless code of manhood while rolling razor blades in his mouth with his tongue. Tolyan also brags to the boy that he is a secret son of Stalin. After several weeks of mooching off and seducing the other tenants, Tolyan buys them all dinner and tickets to a circus. During the performance he sneaks back to the building and robs everyone. Katya is suspicious that he is carrying on with a female tenant he has been flirting with, and she returns to catch him in his burglary. He tells her she can escape with him or stay behind, but she has no skills and no prospect of work, so she takes Sanya and follows him. Katya becomes a part of his con game as they move from city to city, working the same schemes.

This is one of those films which never became famous. It deserves to be famous. What Wikipedia doesn't say - the things which happen towards the end of the movie - are quite heart-rending. The master thief is finally apprehended, in quite an unlikely fashion, and the life of the boy, who is narrating the story, will never be the same again...
It is a moving film which deserves to be better known. For your information, Pavel Chukhrai is the son of the celebrated Soviet filmmaker Grigory Chukhrai (The Ballad of a Soldier).
Seed and enjoy!
