Description
Summary:Poor image. Incomplete. Social drama, taking place in 1923 in Soviet Russia. A group of homeless teenagers is organized into a commune as a social experiment. They live together, learn different crafts and build the railroad. Their old friends - petty thieves, bandits, and robbers - are trying to lure them back to old life. Some are tempted, but the group discipline forces them to return. In revenge, the bandits kill Mustafa, one of the commune members. His body is carried on the first train of the newly built railway.
