The film contains an amateur film report on the celebration of the last day of winter:
1) 00:00:11 - 00:08:46 — Did Moroz and the Snow Maiden arrive in a sleigh pulled by three horses. In another sleigh, women dressed in folk costumes ride along. On stage are officials of the collective farm. General views of the crowd. Speeches by Did Moroz, Winter, and the Snow Maiden. Buds appear on branches. Spring arrives in a sleigh, accompanied by bogatyrs on horseback. Speech by the head of the collective farm, Pylypets Ivan Mykolayovych, and by Spring. Spring scatters seeds over the crowd. Speeches by the foremen. A lamb rides on a K-704 tractor. A theatrical celebration unfolds: carts carrying women in headscarves and kokoshnyks. Officials of the collective farm ride in a sleigh. Amateur music and song groups perform on stage. A LOMO Soloist 30A-188 loudspeaker system is visible in the frame. View of St. Nicholas Church. The field kitchen of the holiday. Dumplings cooking in a cauldron. Men drinking and eating.
2) 00:08:47 - 00:08:46 — Musketeers perform a satirical song about the fight against the “green snake.” Devils sit in a brazier labeled “From the life of alcoholics in hell” on the back of a GAZ-53 truck. Festival participants ride on carts. A KAMAZ truck displays a table of the socialist commitments of the fleet. Shots of the wheels of a K-704 tractor, followed by shots of tractor tracks and a plow working in the field.
The voice-over narration takes the form of a folk song performed by L. Petrenko. The film was created by Dmytro Kozel, H. Sushko, V. Nikitin, and L. Petrenko.
The second audio track serves as an editing cue sheet for the film and contains a frame-by-frame description of persons, objects, actions, and editing plans. It is emotional: Dmytro Kozel imitates sounds of the actions in the frame and names the people involved in the footage. - Language:
