Two Days
About Two Days
The Whites pull out of a city and the Reds come in. On a landlord's estate only the old doorkeeper and the landlord's schoolboy son are left. A Red detachment takes the house. The doorkeeper's son Andrii is with them, a Bolshevik. The old man does not share his son's side. He hides the schoolboy in the attic.
