Description
Young Klych lives in a remote Uzbek village – he has heard about magnificent locomotives and yearned to travel in one, until one day his dream comes true when a friendly railway worker takes him to the big city of Tashkent on a magnificent steam train. Produced specifically for a junior audience, this Uzbek film advocates the wonders of urban living with its bounteous nursery schools and technological advancements, and has a clear ideological message for the new Soviet youth. Ideology aside, this is a thoroughly delightful film thanks to its endearing young stars and its playful use of animation.
