In 1999, Fifth Continent Australia Pty Ltd and Vision 146 SARL commissioned the restoration of two reels from the eleven-reel film.
These have since been screened at the former New Neon Movies in Dayton, Ohio, the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California, and most recently at the Bradford Widescreen Festival on 19 March 2008.
[1] Although plans to restore the remaining reels were abandoned in 2001 due to the project's estimated high cost, the complete three-planel camera negatives and sound elements were restored by Nikolay Mayorov to digital 2K for the Russian State Film Archive Gosfilmofond in 2010.
The story begins when a young woman, Vaike, saves a small dog named Antonio from being run over by the motorcycle of Raivo, a racer who considers all women frivolous and unworthy of his attention.
Just as Raivo believes he has won the wager, Maret intervenes, forcing him to confront his actions and reconsider his views on love and respect.
