Synopsis
Ivan (Pyotr Masokha) is a young worker from rural Russia. He and his father are good farmers, but the Motherland has a bigger task for them to aid in: the building of the huge Dnieper River Dam. There, he meets two other boys named Ivan, who represent his potential fate: One is a studious, diligent pupil; the other's recklessness leads him to die in a construction accident. Rural Ivan, who is arrogant, impulsive and undisciplined, must learn to sacrifice his ego to benefit the greater good.
