The Steamroller and the Violin is a relatively unknown student film made in 1960 by the eminent Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. Made when Tarkovsky was only 28 years old, the film is an accomplished work by a burgeoning genius.
The basic premise is about the unlikely friendship that begins between a little boy Sasha (Igor Fomchenko) and a city worker Sergey (Vladimir Zamansky) who is paving the street outside the boy's apartment home. It starts when the man protects the boy from some of the neighborhood bullies. Sergey allows Sasha to ride on his steamroller and invites him for lunch. The boy learns from his friend the importance of defending the weak, while Sergey is touched by Sasha's love of music. The boy plays his violin for Sergey, and although his mother refuses to allow him out for the evening with his friend, the two look forward to a continuing friendship.
