By the Bluest of Seas

Best friends Yussuf and Alyosha are rescued from the Caspian Sea after their ship is capsized. They are brought to an island when they find shelter on the collective farm. Both men fall head over heels for Mariya, who turns out to be one of the leader of the collective. The friends prove themselves useful on the farm while they both try to seduce Mariya. Alyosha comes up with a trick, but is caught by Yussuf. They refuse to give up, but their rivalry takes a backseat when disaster strikes.

Adrian Martin: “The cinema of poetry, in film history, is attached to a larger stream: lyrical cinema. And lyrical cinema found one of its highest expressions in the musical genre. Boris Barnet made deeply lyrical and musical films!”
