Spring of 1917. Soldiers of the former Wild Division are returning to their villages. Anzor, a footman of Prince Naurbek, commander of the Kabarda regiment, finds poverty and ruin at home - his mother and many other villagers have fallen into bondage debts to Princess Zhansurat. Anzor goes to the prince and asks him to return his land - after all, he shielded Naurbek from enemy bullets in battle. Having received a handful of millet, Anzor returns to his place. Subsequent meetings with the Bolsheviks Kantemir and Mashuko, and then with Kirov himself, convince Anzor of the necessity to fight against the princes.
Directed by Vasily Zhuravlyov, Лавина с гор leans on a strong ensemble — Vladimir Belokurov, Georgi Chernovolenko, Yuriy Dubrovin — 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 drama titles of 1959.
