About Let the Northern Lights Shine
Kolya Chimbartsev arrived at the boarding school of the port of Krasin from distant Odesa. He is to be met by his hydrologist father. But he has not returned from the scientific station located on the ice floe and has not made radio contact. Kolya and his new friends decide to go on the air themselves through the school radio station. Having broken the device and wanting to delay punishment, the guys are going to the movies. But when they hear a warning about a storm, they hide under the bed and fall asleep, leaving, however, a note that they are going to the movies. An alarm is sounded in the village: the children have gone out in the blizzard...
Directed by Radomir Vasilevsky, Let the Northern Lights Shine leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Kazakova, Kostya Lenevsky, Igor Merkulov — 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 1973.
