Gloomy Vangur (1960)
Two sworn enemies—geologists with opposing views on life—set off alone through the dense taiga of the northern Urals to the town of Vangur with the aim of confirming the location of valuable titanium ore deposits. However, as fate would have it, they end up in the same expedition group. Not only their own fate is at stake, but also the fate of the entire Union.
