Russian sailors defended this island and the city of Saint Petersburgh from the advancing German Fleet.  This movie also explores the events leading to the Communist Revolution in 1917 and shows different mind sets of sailors and officers of the Russian Navy, and their loyalty to each other, and Russia.

It remains known for combining formal experimentation with profound explorations of endurance and belief.
