The film is very long, but it is broken up into chapters that detail different random parts of his life. Like him being hired to paint icons. He is excited about that. Then, there is widespread famine. He is not excited about that. Seems like Russia is always going through some famine in these films.
A huge portion of the film has nothing to do with Andrei at all. Instead, it's about another man making a huge copper bell. It shows in great detail how everyone worked together to create it. If only they put that much effort into growing food. Our friend Andrei is standing round watching them make the bell just like we are.
Overall, the film was pretty good and tells a lot about life back then. I will give it a 8/10.
