It is the New Year's Eve and the employees of an Economics Institute are ready with their annual New Year's entertainment program. It includes a lot of dancing and singing, jazz band performance and even magic tricks. Suddenly, an announcement is made that a new director has been elected and that he is arriving shortly. Comrade Ogurtsov arrives in time to review and disapprove of the scheduled entertainment. To him, holiday fun has a different meaning. He imagines speakers reading annual reports to show the Institute's progress over the year, and, perhaps, a bit of serious music, something from the Classics, played by the Veterans' Orchestra. Obviously, no one wants to change the program a few hours before the show, much less to replace it with something so boring! Now everyone has to team up in order to prevent Ogurtsov from getting to the stage. As some of them trap Ogurtsov one way or another, others perform their scheduled pieces and celebrate New Year's Eve. close

The Soviet melodrama “Young Wife” was directed by Leonid Menaker based on the script by Irina Velembovskaya for her story “Behind the Stone Wall” from more
The Soviet melodrama “Young Wife” was directed by Leonid Menaker based on the script by Irina Velembovskaya for her story “Behind the Stone Wall” from the collection “Family Affairs” many years ago. Young Manya Streltsova (Anna Kamenkova) escorted her boyfriend into the army and patiently waited for his return, with happy confidence in the future, reading his letters and rejoicing at the soldiers' photos. A small village, where everyone knows each other, watched with a smile as her grandmother Agash (Galina Makarova), who Mane "both father and mother" was preparing for the wedding, buying up goods in a local shop.
Betrayal
Volodya (Sergei Prokhanov) returned just in time for the wedding of his sister (Elena Melnikov), Manina’s friend, at which almost all fellow villagers walked. He got out of the taxi in a military uniform, and after him a young stranger got out of the car, whom he introduced as “his Gelia (Helena Arzhanik).” Manya could not recover for a long time. She shut herself up, stopped communicating with others and even told her grandmother that she did not want to live, but endured her grief with silent dignity.
One day, the girl found a little Lucia (Sonia Jishkariani) who had wandered here from a nearby village and decided to take her home. The girl was the daughter of the widower Alexei Terekhov (Vladlen Biryukov), whom Manya sometimes saw, but did not know too well. It was he who shielded her once from Volody, who rushed for explanations. Mani and the baby immediately began a close warm relationship, and this was the reason for Alexei’s proposal to marry him.
Manyasha agreed, despite the persuasion of her grandmother to think, and a warning that “for love with a man is difficult, and even without love ...”. Maybe she wanted to take revenge on the traitor she had been dating since seventh grade, or get away from the prying eyes of her neighbors. Perhaps the girl just needed to establish herself in a faltering uncertain life, but Manya decided to take this step. Thus began a difficult period of her life.
Thin and figurative
It is believed that the film “Young Wife” wonderfully harmoniously conveys the atmosphere of almost reserved life of the Soviet village of the seventies of the twentieth century, with its slowness, charm of simple Russian landscapes and centuries-old traditions of good neighborly relations, with its simple life and everyday wisdom. In 1980, the film was recognized as the best film of 1979 according to the results of the annual competition of the magazine “Soviet Screen”, and actress Anna Kamenkova received the prize for best female role at the 12th All-Union Film Festival in Ashgabat. close
