Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: distress and aftermath; themes: suffering, death, public tragedy; style notes: close-up on face, wide shot of steps, low-angle on child, high-angle on wheel; high-contrast lighting

A woman with glasses screams in close-up; a man in a white coat kneels beside bodies on steps; a child lies still under a blanket; a cart wheel lies on stone ground. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in these frames.

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.
