Iwan und Marja (original title: Russian Иван да Марья , Iwan da Marja ) is a Soviet fairy tale film by Boris Ryzarew from 1975 .
action
The Tsar's daughter Agrafena is supposed to get married and so the suitor Markisett arrives at the Tsar's castle, who is a weakling but has a gramophone with him as a bride's present. However, his courtship is interrupted by the arrival of the dreaded robber Solowei and his cronies, who also want to see the Tsar's daughter. They are opposed by the soldier Ivan, who, unlike Prince Markisett, is not blown away when Solowei begins to whistle. The cheerful crowd of crooks entertains Agrafena with music, causes chaos when the group is shot, and trolls away shortly afterwards. The tsar promises the hand of his daughter to those who can drive Solowei out of the area.
A little later, at a small water mill , Iwan meets the band of robbers again. They have no interest in fighting each other and instead have an intellectual contest. Whoever can answer each other's tricky questions is allowed to stay; the loser has to retreat to the forest. In fact, Ivan can easily answer all of the robbers' trick questions. The robbers, however, fail at Ivan's question and withdraw into the forest. Ivan is now supposed to marry Agrafena, but only wants a holiday pass so that he can marry his lover Marja in his village. Because he refused to give the tsar's orders, he was arrested. Marja, on the other hand, is supposed to be forcibly married to the general according to the will of the tsar, but refuses and sets off to free Ivan.
When she arrives at the castle, she can enter the basement of the castle via a side entrance, where she meets Agrafena. She has had enough of the tsar's machinations and helps Marja to get into prison with Ivan. Ivan cannot leave at the moment, however, as he has temporarily taken on the spooky duty for the castle ghost Timosha. Marja Ivan now wants to give up his conscience at gunpoint when Timosha returns to prison. Marja passes out in the face of the ghost and Ivan carries her outside. Agrafena, Ivan and Marja immediately flee from the castle in Ivan's village, but are caught by the tsar on the way. He realizes that Ivan is still in his service and therefore has to come back to the castle with him. Ivan, loyal to the government, agrees and follows the tsar. Marja, however, swears revenge. Agrafena, in turn, goes out to find a lover for herself.
As a result, Ivan has to take over the work of the protesting Fedotjewna for the Tsar, who had previously taken care of the household and is now on strike, angry about Agrafena's disappearance. Ivan makes it clear to the tsar that he is a bad ruler. When Marja approaches the castle with a mocking song, the tsar capitulates and releases the soldier from his service. Meanwhile, Agrafena returns to her father, to whom she presents her new lover. It is the robber Solowei who promises to improve himself.
