Alexandr Plotnikov

A story about a group of countryside children playing detectives in their village.

A family struggles to survive in an area that was claimed as part of Rumania, Poland and the Ukraine, all within a short span of time. When World War II comes, various family members choose different masters; some even choose to work for the Soviets. War, struggle, marriages, births, deaths--all these events punctuate the story of this large family.

The continuation of a story started by Alexander Stolper epic movie "Zhivye i Myortvye".
