About How to Become a Man
The first part "Zhenya" tells about a boy Zhenya, who goes to kindergarten. The story tells about his relationship with his peers and how he was unfairly punished. Will he be able to act manly in this situation? The second part "Buba" is about a 11-year-old musician from a Georgian village, who one day is given a chance to prove himself among adult musicians - he is offered to replace one of the members of an amateur orchestra.
Directed by Khasan Khazhkasimov, Irma Raush, How to Become a Man leans on a strong ensemble — Irina Goltsova, Yekaterina Vasilyeva, Baadur Tsuladze — 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 1971.
