Synopsis
The film poem about the construction of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Station (Dniprohes), about the life of a country lad by the name of Ivan, who along with other youths comes to build one of the greatest constructions of the Soviet industrialization. O. Dovzhenko depicts the process of the protagonists transformation caused by industrialization.
A majestic panarama of the Dniprohes unfolds in front of the stunned peasant. The voice of an individual is lost in the ding of concrete mixers, steam hammers, locomotives. An industrial accident cause the death of a young worker. His mother runs across the dam as if trying to flee from the satanic machinery that seems to chase her. In a counter-opposing image young strong, and sinewy bodies of construction workers move in the undisturbed rhythm of work. Even an unshaven slovenly man, a shirker, and loafer, cannot spoil the epic appearance of the construction.  Meanwhile Ivan in the process of his class transformation from peasant into a worker realizes that physical strength is not enough. He needs to educate himself. In the finale of the film Ivan is admitted into the Communist party. The university doors fly open for him.
