What happens

Zhizn i priklyucheniya chetyrekh druzei 1/2 (English: Life and Adventures of Four Friends) (Russian: Жизнь и приключения четырех друзей 1/2) is a 1981 Soviet children's movie about three smart dogs and one cat who eventually become friends and help people. The film is set in Russia. Adapted from the story of the same name by Yusef Printsev and directed by Oleg Yeryshev. The first episode runs 63 minutes, and has two parts: 1. Zakadychnye vragi (aka.. Soulmate enemies), and 2. Nachalo puti (aka.. Beginning of the road). This film is a prequel to Life and Adventures of Four Friends 3/4, released later in 1981.
