A Great Life (Russian: Большая жизнь, romanized: Bolshaya zhizn) is a 1939 Soviet drama film directed by Leonid Lukov.
Efforts to re-equip the mine are underway, supported by young engineer Petukhov, who, with the encouragement of veteran miners Kuzma Kozodoev and Viktor Bugorkov, is developing an innovative coal extraction method.
The chairman of the mine committee, Usynin, a man who avoids responsibility and fears failure, strongly opposes the initiative.
This vote of confidence inspires Petukhov to redouble his efforts to implement the new method, which promises to revolutionize coal mining in the region.
The community’s journey, marked by conflicts, challenges, and personal transformations, unfolds as Khadarov’s leadership and the collective spirit of the miners drive the mine toward success and unity.
