Shortly after Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953, Lavrenty Beria, the omnipotent NKVD Minister, granted a broad amnesty. Due to it, going at large were hardened criminals that had been convicted for grave offenсes. Wreaking havoc in the taiga in search of food and transportation, the bandits come across a small village where two amnestied political prisoners are waiting for the arrival of a boat. It fell to those two – the middle-aged Kopalych and the young Luzga – to defend the helpless villagers from the convicts. The great Russian actor Anatoly Papanov played his last role (Kopalych) in this film.

(Suom. Kylmä kesä 1953) Vähän Stalinin kuoleman jälkeen vuonna 1953 NKVD: n valtaapitävä ministeri Lavrenty Beria myönsi laajan armahduksen. Näin vapaalle pääsee raskaista rikoksista tuomittuja. Etsiessään ruokaa rikolliset sattuvat pieneen kylään, jossa kaksi armahdettua poliittista vankia odottavat veneen saapumista. Näiden kahden - keski-ikäisen Kopalychin ja nuoren Luzgan - harteille jää puolustaa avuttomia kyläläisiä rikollisilta. Teksityskielen voi valita, mutta tekstitystä ei saa kokonaan pois.
Peu de temps après la mort de Staline en 1953, le tout-puissant ministre de l’intérieur Béria proclama une large amnistie. A la suite de quoi recouvrèrent la liberté, outre les malheureux politiques, les criminels de droit commun de tout poil, auteurs des crimes les plus abominables. Ce sont ces bandits qui sévissent ici dans la taïga sibérienne, cherchant de quoi se nourrir, faisant main basse sur les moyens de transport. Ceci les amène dans un petit village où deux prisonniers politiques élargis attendent l’arrivée du bateau fluvial qui va les rapatrier. Et ce sont ces deux-lа, le sexagénaire Kopalytch et le jeune Louzga, qui sont amenés à prendre la défense des villageois désarmés en butte aux dangereux récidivistes. Ce fut le dernier rôle (Kopalytch) du grand acteur Anatoli Papanov, décédé peu après le tournage.
