Wedding in Malinovka
Directed by Andrei Tutyshkin
Produced by Lenfilm
A lighthearted musical comedy that uses a civil war backdrop and romantic entanglement to celebrate collective action and ideological triumph.
The movie takes place during Russia's civil war between the Reds (Bolsheviks) and the Whites (Mensheviks). Andrejka and Yarinka are a young betrothed couple in the village of Malinovka, caught between the battle lines. Gritsian is the leader of a Menshevik band who are planning to attack the village. Yarinka appeals to the local Bolshevik commander for his faction's help. The Bolsheviks quickly come up with a plan to save the village... but the plan requires Yarinka to enter into a pretend marriage with Gritsian.
