A brilliant satirical film about an easy-going Kyiv opportunist caught between the Red Army, the White forces and local bandits as he tries to avoid the 1917-1921 civil war with a miraculous camel. The film was banned by the Soviet authorities a week after it was first screened but finally rediscovered and restored in 2012 by the Dovshenko National Film Studios.
