English title: Tractor Drivers
Klim is a demobilized soldier who decides to stay at a collective farm, working as a tractor mechanic. He falls in love with a fellow worker, but she has an agreement with another man to pretend they are engaged, and he mistakes it for a real engagement. He is made the leader of an all-male tractor driver unit, which engage in a productivity contest with the all-female unit. With the war looming on the horizon, they all must prepare to move from tractors to tanks.
Artistically and intellectually poor propaganda film, which was part of the pre-war effort in the USSR. André Gide said that "it is with good intentions that one makes bad literature", and it would probably apply just as well to other arts, except that saying that Stalin was full of good intentions is controversial.
