Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber; themes: military discipline, sacrifice, injustice; style notes: static medium shot, high contrast black and white, focused on facial expression and text

A sailor in a dark sweater and sailor collar is surrounded by other men in uniform; one holds a plate. On-screen text reads 'Killed for a plate of soup.' No spoken dialogue is present in this beat.

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.
