Oksana (played by Sofia Rotaru) is a young and beautiful Carpathian girl. On the "Donetsk-Verkhovyna" train she becomes acquainted with a young miner from Donetsk called Boris. The travellers fall in love, but are parted when they arrive at their destination. In the Carpathian mountains their paths diverge, but Boris (played by Vasyl Zinkevych, soloist of the instrumental band "Smerichka") discovers where she is staying. The couple meet again and rekindle their love. Their friends invite them to perform in a concert for vacationers at a mountain resort, where they sing about their feelings for each other.

Im croatian but im learning ukrainian and i used to like the song на швидких поїздах even before i watched the movie. When i watched it i was in psych ward for the first time and found out the movie where its from as i was really bored most of the time and decided to give it a try. I watched a whole musical in ukrainian without translation and was shocked i understood it, and really liked it! From now on i listen to the song from here over and over and my favorites are червона рута, водограй, and на швидких поїздах. Great movie, ukrainian culture and language is really beautiful, and the songs are so melodic. Much love from croatia!
