The Secret of the Ancestors (1973)
The 1920s. Taking advantage of the fact that Soviet power had not yet come to Yakutia, the merchants made the locals completely dependent on their will. Merchant Oparin stopped exchanging gunpowder and products for furs, he wanted to find out where the gold-bearing stream was located. But the chief of the Sadyuk tribe did not violate the law of the ancestors and did not reveal the secret of the Golden Stream.
