Belyy Bim, Chyornoe ukho) is a 1977 Soviet drama film directed by Stanislav Rostotsky.

It is based on the book of the same name, written by Gavriil Troyepolsky and is about a white Gordon Setter with a black ear who becomes homeless because of his master's illness.

[1] In the early spring, the writer Ivan Ivanovich sets out to find a Gordon Setter from a breeder.

However, two issues disrupt their peaceful life: due to his unusual color, Bim is not recognized as a hunting dog by official associations and is denied official hunting documents.Additionally, one of Ivan's neighbors harbors animosity towards Bim, reporting him to the landlord as aggressive and spreading rumors of his dangerousness.

Rushed to Moscow for surgery, Ivan leaves Bim in the care of his neighbor Stepanovna, who lives with her granddaughter.

He heads to the nearest hospital, returns to the empty apartment at night, and resumes his search the next day.

Dasha arranges for an identification tag for Bim, summarizing vital information about the dog and its owner.

Bim gets his paw caught in a sudden switch change, is discovered and freed by train conductors, and returns bleeding to his apartment.

This young white Gordon Setter resembles Bim, but with one ear and one side of its face black.
