Based on the 1923 memoir by Russian explorer Vladimir Arsenyev and shot on location in the Russian Far East the film explores the theme of a native of the forests, whose way of life will inevitably be destroyed by the advance of civilization. It is also about the respect and deep friendship between two men of profoundly different backgrounds, and the loss of strength and ability that comes with old age. It won the 1976 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
