The Last Chance (1979)
For Slava Gorokhov, his next adventure ends with a conditional conviction. By decision of law enforcement agencies, a young man begins to study at a vocational school for re-education. From the first day of being in vocational school, the young man is in the center of attention of students who are not ready to accept a person with a lifestyle that is significantly different from the traditional one for a Soviet citizen. Unexpectedly for many, on the side of Gorokhov is the master Radislav Yershov and Komsomol activist Nadya, in love with Slava. The intrigues unfolding in the school are changing the habitual life of an educational institution, which is becoming the scene of a struggle between two opposing ideologies.
