1943. Deep rear. Goods necessary for the rear and front are transported along the Syr Darya River. The heroes of the film — the old man Zeynolla and the war—deprived teenagers Dariga, Mukhtar and Amir transport cargo on light kank boats. When an old man dies, teenagers are left alone with a harsh and capricious river. War regenerates young heroes, forcing them to think about big life problems and moral criteria.
Salty River of Childhood (1983) is currently not available on any services.
