This film is part of the Parasolka series.
Description:
When two street toughs begin bullying the neighborhood, a little man eventually decides to intervene.
The film is wordless and has only a few written words that can be translated, but aren't essential.
The red arm bands seen at the end of the film were worn by members of the Voluntary People's Druzhinas - volunteers who helped patrol their neighborhoods and could make citizen's arrests. This was similar to what is called a neighborhood watch in English-speaking countries.

Unlike the first one in the Parasolka series, this one feels more grounded (I mean, it's not a total fantasy) and actually has some sort of point - to remind people that if they want safe neighborhoods, it's also their responsibility to help make them so. Overall, it's not sophisticated, but is a fun and optimistic film. Interesting to compare it to If I Were My Dad 2, a film made by Moscow's central television animation studio, with a very similar premise (two big brutes who bully a man who initially wants nothing more than to avoid a fight), except in that one, they never get their comeuppance anywhere except in a little boy's imagination. Perhaps it's no coincidence that that film was made in a USSR that was disintegrating.
