A host of nonprof.ess.ional children are. cast as Moscow st.reet kids, left homel.ess by th.e B.olshevik rev.olution. .They g.et into all sorts of mel.odramatic scrapes unt.il they're roun.ded up by kindly, .altruistic Soviet functiona.ries. The children ar.e r.eformed (in the ni.cest possible way). and made useful memb.ers of so.cie.ty. Road to .Life is s.implis.tic in its solutions to .society's problems, a.lbeit no more s.o than the usual H.ollywood product from the s.ame period.
