Pioneer leader Serge, a sculptor, decides to work in a new plastic material, among creatively gifted children in a camp located in an old mansion. Pioneer Lopukhin is so in love with his classmate Ergolina that he does not notice how fascinated Sonya Zagremukhina is with him. Showing their emotions and moods helps their participation in the production of the play "Masquerade" by Lermontov, and the play itself imperceptibly turns into a drama with unexpected confessions, insults, jealousy, and outbursts. The teens are so busy with their feelings that they do not pay attention to the pedagogical ideas of Pioneer Serge, and by the end of the film, with no additional encouragement, they are ready for a commemoration of first love.

1983 film by Andrei Tarkovsky

1956年的苏联，斯大林辞世，一个暴力的政权开始解体，留下了一个警察即是罪犯、罪犯其实无辜的社会。斯大林的继任者赫鲁晓夫向全国发表了一篇秘密演讲。演讲许出的承诺：苏联将会改变。 在暴政面前，苏联国安局官员里奥选择了背叛。他冒死从枪口下救出两个女孩卓娅和艾琳娜，但她们却把他当成罪魁祸首之一，不肯原谅。而除了这两个女孩外，对里奥在国安局工作期间为虎作伥的行为“不能忘怀的”，亦大有人在。真相已被泄露，里奥和他的妻子以及他的家庭陷入了巨大的危险之中！ 从风云突变的莫斯科，到恐怖的古拉格集中营，《秘密演讲》以惊心动魄的叙事方式讲述了苏联风雨飘摇中的一段黑暗历史，这无疑是作者汤姆·罗伯·史密斯最振奋人心的作品之一。
