The Steamroller and the Violin
1961 · Movie · 46 min. · Soviet Union (USSR)
The film tells a very simply story of friendship between an artistic, sensitive seven-year-old violinist named Sasha and a physical, blue-collar steamroller operator. They befriend each other after Sasha is threatened by some ruffians, spend the day together, and alter each other's perceptions of life. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
