The Youth of Our Parents (1958)

Overview

An adaptation of the book "Razgrom" by Alexander Fadeyev. A partisan detachment led by Levinson, including Morozka, Pavel Mechik, Metelitsa, and nurse Varya, is united in their goal to defeat the White Cossacks. Despite their shared mission, each carries personal pain and hopes for happiness. Fadeev’s novel explores the idea of a “new personality” in revolutionary times, but this new identity perceives life and destiny similarly to the old, albeit more harshly.
