The film’s content makes no concessions to the usual expectations of Soviet audiences of the 1930s. The cast of characters is extremely unlikely in almost every conventional respect. The action involves the household of the prominent Dr. Stepanov and his young wife, Masha, who share their large and richly adorned mansion with the parasitical Fedor Tsitronov, whose presence in the household is given only the most implausible of explanations. Equally implausible is the acquaintance of the family with the young and proud Grisha Fokin, whose leadership role in the Young Communist League is never clearly defined and who is never seen engaged in any work or professional activity.

Directed by Ivan Pyryev.

Em 1905, na Rússia czarista, aconteceu um levante que pressagiou a Revolução de 1917. Tudo começou no navio de guerra Potemkin quando os marinheiros estavam cansados de serem maltratados, sendo que até carne estragada lhes era dada com o médico de bordo insistindo que ela era perfeitamente comestível. Alguns marinheiros se recusam em comer esta carne, então os oficiais do navio ordenam a execução deles. A tensão aumenta e, gradativamente, a situação sai cada vez mais do controle. Logo depois dos gatilhos serem apertados Vakulinchuk (Aleksandr Antonov), um marinheiro, grita para os soldados e pede para eles pensarem e decidirem se estão com os oficiais ou com os marinheiros. Os soldados hesitam e então abaixam suas armas. Louco de ódio, um oficial tenta agarrar um dos rifles e provoca uma revolta no navio, na qual o marinheiro é morto. Mas isto seria apenas o início de uma grande tragédia.
