Sarmiko, you tell us kids
everything that happened!
I'll tell you! Here's the bear!
Oh, he's so scary!
And this is the yaranga where Yahtyrgyn lived.
Old grandpa Yahtyrgyn
A kind old man!
I was out hunting then.
Good news.
Very good.
Thank you.
Yahtyrgyn! Grandpa!
You know, grandpa, I managed to get a walrus!
Oh, you will be a great hunter, Sarmiko!
Yes, I'll be a great hunter!
Today, the radio told me...
The radio told me that the plane that'll be overwintering has taken off.
It's coming here? An airplane!
It's bringing ammunition, pencil crayons, and books!
Nynkai!
Grandpa, I'll go to the winter airstrip! To meet the plane!
You can't cross the bay; the ice has become bad.
I'll keep close to shore. I'll be back at sunset.
Nynkai!
Hello, Uncle Stepan!
Hello, little miss! Hello.
Well, how's life treating you, eh?
I live very well. Did you bring the paints?
And the books?
I did, I did. Everything I promised I brought.
[To School #7]
Well, my little friends, this time you will be very satisfied.
Pencils? Paints? Books? Oh, so many!
This is the book that Sarmiko really wanted.
Dad, I'll go visit him right now, okay?
Where, to the settlement? To Sarmiko? No, girl, you can't.
But I went there before.
But now there's bad ice on the bay,
and a blizzard might come up.
But I won't cross the bay, I'll follow the coast.
Dad! My little reindeer will take me there so, so fast.
Well, okay, okay. But only if you promise to follow the coast.
I promise! On my pioneer's honor!
The warm summer goes on and on
The sea breaks the heavy ice
Soon the snow will quickly melt
Come on, hunter, come on!
At the wintering spot, a comrade awaits us
A Russian girl lives there
The smartest, most daring -
Lena the pioneer lives there
Uncle Stepan!
How smooth it looks! We could instantly get home!
But following the coast will take so long...
Right, little reindeer?
Let's go across the bay!
We've been crossing it all winter long!
What's to be afraid of?
Come on, let's try it!
Faster, that's right, faster yet!
Who's that over there, Nynkai? He'll be a goner!
Hurry, Nynkai, hurry!
Sarmiko, Sarmiko!
Lena, how did you get here?
Come quickly! Didn't your father tell you that the ice was really bad?
He did. I broke my word, on my pioneer's honor.
We're drifting into the open sea!
Do not cry!
What can we do now, Sarmiko? We're goners!
Do not be afraid, come with me!
Get up!
Sarmiko, you too!
I cannot! It's too heavy for the reindeer, he could drown.
Sarmiko, please!
Sarmiko! Hurry, the blizzard's starting!
Sarmiko!
Do not worry, hold on tight, Lena!
Lena! Lena!
Sarmiko! Ahoy!
Ahoy!!!
Dad! Sarmiko!
It's my fault! Mine!
Sarmiko! Where's Sarmiko?
There, on the ice! He's drifting out to sea!
- To sea? - To sea!
The sea wants to take Sarmiko?
A boy on an ice floe has drifted out to sea!
A boy has drifted out to sea!
A boy on an ice floe has drifted out to sea!
A boy has drifted out to sea!
A boy on an ice floe has drifted out to sea!
Man cannot fight the sea!
No, he can, he can, he can! He can! Right, dad?
Comrade Yahtyrgyn, come quick and listen!
Attention, polar radio center speaking.
Polar radio center speaking.
A plane has been sent out to search for the ice floe with a boy on it.
The ships at sea have been notified.
Grandpa, do you hear? They'll save him, they'll save Sarmiko!
I hears, I heard. Strong has Man became, very strong.
But the sea is stronger yet...
Well, Nynkai.
Once our sledge burns, we'll have no more wood.
There's a book, but we can't burn it.
Lena gave it to me! She's a good friend.
Moscow... And this is the Kremlin.
Hey, that plane was searching for us.
Hey! We're here!
Time to sleep, darling.
I can't, dad.
What about Sarmiko? How is Sarmiko doing?
Things are bad, Nynkai. It's so cold!
The fire is gone...
Do not sleep! Do not sleep, Nynkai!
You cannot sleep, or you'll freeze!
You'll freeze and die.
If you die, you won't see anything any more.
There's still a lot I want to see.
I need to see Moscow...
Nynkai! Where did you get this?
Sarmiko.
Mark out a landing pad.
Mark out a landing pad..?
Light torches in the corners. Uncle Stepan.
Uncle Stepan!
You understand, Nynkai?
They'll save us, they'll ave us, Nynkai!
We need to eat a lot now, and later there'll be lots of work.
Lena, Lena! Lena, Sarmiko's been found!
Found?
Uncle Stepan found him and ordered him to mark out a landing pad.
but I'm afraid the boy won't manage.
Sarmiko will manage! He'll manage! I need to tell his grandpa!
Nynkai the ice is crackling. It's going to break apart!
Nynkai, what should I do? Uncle Stepan's plane will crash!
We need to extinguish the fires, quickly!
He's flying down already!
There's a gale-force wind! The ice is broken.
I'll try to land on the water, I'm coming down!
Nynkai!
Uncle Stepan!
The sea took Sarmiko. Why should Yahtyrgyn live any longer?
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Hello, grandpa!
Sarmiko!
Sarmiko, you drew everything!
Everything!
And this is the plane uncle Stepan flew in!
What a plane that is! So big and beautiful!
