Insight into a part of history most of us have never heard of: what happened to the white Russian troops after the Bolsheveiks won. I didn't find it tedious. Junker didn't get to live a life. The scene in which the woman watching him sleep. Is caressing his hair, saying that she now knows what he was like as a little boy coupled with the scene of him alone in the rented room sobbing on the bed bring home just how young he was, and how far from home. The boy he befriended in the village who, despite his appearance was well-educated was a symbol of the future that Junker would not see. The boy's determination to return Junker's watch even to carrying it as an adult until he reunited it with its owner, and standing on the boat as it passes the ship saluting Junker who was hailing him was poignant. It is posssible that the adult was now a Bolsheveik.
