The Ballad of Siberia (in Russian: Сказание о земле Сибирской, romanized: Skazanie o zemle sibirskoy), also known as Symphony of Life,[1][2] produced by Mosfilm and released in 1948, was the Soviet Union's second color film (after The Stone Flower).

It is a Soviet style musical movie, full of songs, such as "The Wanderer", describing the development of Siberia after World War II.

Pianist Andrei Balashov (Vladimir Druzhnikov) after being wounded at the front during the Great Patriotic War loses the opportunity to earnestly pursue music due to a hand injury.

By chance, weather conditions force the plane with Andrey's friends, Boris Olenich (Vladimir Zeldin) and Natasha, who are flying to a competition abroad, to land at the airport near the building of the plant.

He travels to the Arctic and inspired by the heroic labor of the builders to write a symphonic oratorio "Ballad of Siberia", which receives universal recognition.
