Movie6.2FamilyAdventureBased on a Anton Chekhov short story, this slight tale has some good moments as the drama of a young boy's journey unfolds.

The only problem is that the city is all the way across the Russian steppes, and at this time in history, that arduous journey could only be undertaken by horse and carriage.

But in general, it is too long and unmomentous a journey to hold attention well for nearly two hours.
