Dima Gorin's Career (Frunze Dovlatyan, Lev Mirsky) 1961

Dmitry Gorin is an exemplary employee of a Soviet savings bank, eagerly awaiting a promotion to branch manager. However, just as his promotion seems certain, he accidentally gives out an excess sum of money to a worker from the taiga involved in constructing the Siberia–Urals power line. The worker promptly leaves for Siberia, and to retrieve the money and restore his standing with his superiors, Dmitry is compelled to follow him into the remote wilderness. Yet, Dmitry finds himself in no hurry to return to Moscow.
