After 28 years laying bricks in the USA, Nosn escapes the Great Depression and returns home to the USSR. Unfortunately for him, he's picked up some inefficient capitalist habits and has some learning to do before he can be a proper Soviet worker. Legendary Soviet Yiddish actor Solomon Mikhoels shines as Nosn's father. The stinging critique of American racism adds yet another unexpected dimension to this remarkable film. Originally billed as "the first Yiddish talkie from Soviet Russia."
