About The Side Where the Wind Is
Genka Zvyagin meets a blind boy, Vladik. This meeting becomes in many ways a turning point in the destinies of both. Also before the eyes of the audience are the life stories of other children, often instructive and tragic.
Directed by Vagram Kevorkov, The Side Where the Wind Is leans on a strong ensemble — Alexey Melekhov, Viktor Berezin, Denis Skudar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1979.
