Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am and adventure lovers. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

Big changes are coming to the life of twelve year old Masha after vacations on Kamchatka island. Her father spends most of his time sailing and lives in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, while the girl lives with her mother in Odessa. Masha had long dreamed of traveling to Kamchatka; now, the long-awaited day has arrived. Summer will pass in a flash for both father and daughter: Masha will spend two months with her father on Bering Island, befriend an Aleut boy named Radik, and convince her mother not to return to Odessa at all.
