The action takes place in the late 1940s. A large-scale land-surveying research is underway in a remote area of Eastern Siberia. The work had almost been concluded when a wire arrives with the news of people disappearing in the locality of Yambuy. The expedition’s chief and radioman decide to go in search of the lost ones. The local Evenk hunters come to their aid. Many dangerous adventures lie in store for these daring people before they find the culprit – a man-eating bear.
Reviews
In the aesthetic sphere, this film may be compared with 'Dersu Uzala', great masterpiece of Akira Kurosava. You may even see some trivial parallelism in story lines of these two films.If we talk about psychological and emotional aspect, we may compare it with Hitchcock's movies.I've got great suspense from this film. Horror is growing from episode to episode. Far cry take your heart by cold fingers. Steps on the ground. Steps on rocks... You don't see danger until it close enough. You are not sure you see what you get.Nature is full of power. You are small in comparison with it. You are great to choose right way through it. You are happy to return home after all.
