If a Comrade Calls

Original title: Если позовет товарищ

Directed by Aleksandr Ivanov

Shatalov and "Mani"—the nickname given to Alexei by his fellow cadets—became friends while still at naval academy. Their lives took different paths. "Mani" became a submarine commander. Shatalov, after committing a criminal act of recklessness, served on shore. A career naval officer, he was tormented by the situation. Suddenly, a telegram arrived from distant Kuramoy from "Manya" — his friend was calling him.
