Plot
In 1921, the Cheka became aware that gold and jewelry were stolen from the treasury of Gokhran, and that a special organization was involved in transporting the stolen to Estonia. Scout Maksim Isayev is sent to this country.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Soviet-Estonian adventure thriller about a Cheka scout sent to track stolen treasure. It is brisk and genre-driven, in the vein of period spy films. Enjoyable for fans of Soviet adventure cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
