Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn, accusatory; themes: martyrdom, social injustice, revolutionary symbolism; style notes: static close-up, high contrast lighting, intertitle with bilingual text

A man lies dead with a sign on his chest reading 'Killed for a plate of soup.' On-screen text identifies the location as the last moorings of Vakulinchuk at the New Quay in Odessa.

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.
