Accordion (Russian: Гармонь, translit. Garmon) is a 1934 Soviet musical film directed by Igor Savchenko.[1]
Plot
The merry village accordionist Timofey Dudin, or as known by his nickname Timoshka, is elected secretary at one of the Komsomol units. This high office, in his opinion, is not compatible with playing on the accordion. The unusual prolonged silence leads quickly to a discord between the true Komsomol and the kulak supporters which causes Timoshka to pick up his accordion again ...
