The narrative is stark in its simplicity. Sixty-eight-year-old Ivan Fyodorovich (a career-defining performance by Mikhail Ulyanov) lives a quiet life with his beloved granddaughter, Katya. When Katya is brutally raped by three wealthy young men—the sons of a policeman, a prosecutor, and a businessman—Ivan does what any law-abiding Soviet citizen would do: he goes to the police.
