Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who'll be humming afterwards and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or A Hard Day's Night.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Set in beginning of 1700's, when tsar Pyotr was raising from ashes Russian fleet and sent dozens young people overseas to become navigators, story tells us about proud man who changed his stars. Taking place of his lazy master, he graduates from university and comes back to be judged by the one who send them.
