Glory

IMDb

A railway worker finds millions on the tracks and turns the money in to the authorities. The state rewards him with a new watch — a cheap fake. When a Ministry of Transport PR officer loses his original Soviet-era "Glory" watch, a family heirloom, the man launches a desperate battle to reclaim it and his dignity.
