The plot is simple and even somewhat naive, as in many Soviet films, especially for children. I saw it in my early childhood, when it came out.
A teacher conducts a boys' choir in a secondary school. The boys love the teacher's dog, which always attends their rehearsals. One day the dog gets lost. Meanwhile the teacher's family moves to a new apartment, so the teacher comes to spend nights in the old apartment, where there is already a new family, and during day-time someone of the boys is on duty there to wait for the dog. Eventually, the dog returns.
The film stars several famous Soviet actors: Aleksandr Demyanenko (everybody in Russia knows him as Shurik in such hits as "Kidnapping Caucassian Style" and "Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future"), Yevgeni Yevstigneyev (famous for "The Dog's Heart", "Beware of the Car" and many other films) and Irina Alfyorova (her first role). The main part is played by Andrei Popov, who is better known for his part of Zakhar in "Oblomov".
