Whistle Stop (Russian: Полустанок) is a 1963 Soviet comedy film directed by Boris Barnet.

[4] Academician Pavel Pavlovich, a prominent scientist, takes a vacation to escape the daily hustle of Moscow.

Following medical advice, he opts for a simple Russian village instead of resorts or health spas.

Hoping to breathe fresh air, relax, and indulge in his favorite hobby of painting, he settles into a dilapidated barn traditionally used by visiting artists.

The seemingly remote village is brimming with lively, engaging residents and a constant flurry of events—some humorous, others serious.
