Tractor Drivers 2

Tractor Driver 2 is an absurd tragicomedy directed by Gleb and Igor Aleynikov, based on Renata Litvinova's script. The plot is loosely based on famous Soviet films in the manner of "Socialist realism": Tractor Drivers, Wedding in Malinovka (where one of the main characters, Nazar Duma, is namesake to a character from the previous film), and The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed.

Plot[]

Klim Yarko, a former tank driver, wants to find a peaceful job as a tractor driver. He falls in love with Maryana Bazhan and begins working in a successful collective farm, whose director is Maryana's father. However, he has a rival, Nazar Duma, a tractor driver in his 40s. On the other hand, the neighboring farm is getting bankrupt, and its youth creates a gang and terrorizes the farm where Klim works. The competition between two farms results in a bloody feud.
