Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and tense; themes: naval discipline, impending conflict, mortality; style notes: static medium shots, high contrast lighting, focused on symbolic objects and faces

A sequence on a ship shows sailors in uniform, a lifebuoy with Cyrillic text, and a covered object on deck. No dialogue or named characters are present; only ambient sound is noted.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
