Love's Berries (Russian: Ягoдка любви, romanized: Yagodka lyubvi, Ukrainian: Ягідка кохання, romanized: Yahidka kokhannia) is a 1926 Soviet comedy film by Ukrainian director Oleksandr Dovzhenko. The film was Dovzhenko's debut, and the screenplay was written in three days.[1] It deals with a dandified barber's attempts to get rid of his "love berry" — his illegitimate offspring.[2]

Plot

Hairdresser Jean Colbasiuc learns from his girlfriend about an unexpected materialization of their child. Not ready to be a father, the young man tries to get rid of the baby left in his care. After a few unsuccessful attempts to place the baby onto unsuspecting citizens, by this time Colbasiuc receives a notice from the People's Court, agrees to the registration of marriage and only then learns from Lisa that the child, who served as a catalyst for the incident, was borrowed by her from her Aunt.
