Quarantine (Russian: Карантин, romanized: Karantin) is a 1983 Soviet children's comedy film directed by Ilya Frez.

[1][2] When a quarantine disrupts her first day of kindergarten, spirited five-year-old Masha embarks on a series of whimsical adventures around her village, forming unexpected bonds with her neighbors and discovering the small wonders of her world.

Masha is taken to various caretakers throughout her extended family and community, including her aunt Katya at her father’s work, and then to a museum, where she's entrusted to behave.

Her days include dreams about historical figures and whimsical adventures with neighborhood children, like Dima, with whom she forms a special bond despite frequent separations.

She plays unsupervised with Dima, finding herself in minor mischief and encounters with various adults—from a kindly woman who takes them to a cafe, to a concerned passerby when she gets momentarily lost.
