Three Fat Men (1966): Cast & Plot

In a nameless, fantastical city ruled by the Three Fat Men, Viktor Sergachyov as Razdvatris and his fellow rulers preside over a harsh, inequitable world where the people dream of a different future. A traveling caravan of performers rides into town just as a miners’ uprising flares up in the streets. Among the troupe is the clown Augustus, the acrobat Aleksey Batalov as Tibul, and the young girl Lina Braknyte as Suok, their arrival bringing a glimmer of color and possibility to a city hungry for change. Tibul immediately throws himself into the rebels’ cause, but the initial spark of revolt is swiftly crushed by the military might of General Karaska, played by Pavel Luspekayev.
