Tenderness for the Roaring Beast

Overview

Based on the novel of the same name by A. Bakhvalov.

The heroes of the film - friends test pilots Dolotov and Sanin - have walked together all their lives. But it so happened that one of them, Dolotov, was once unfairly suspended from flying, while Sanin failed to protect and support his friend. Friends' paths diverged...
