The compelling story of a girl's impassioned search for happiness.

Veronika and Boris come together in Moscow shortly before World War II. Walking along the river, they watch cranes fly overhead, and promise to rendezvous before Boris leaves to fight. Boris misses the meeting and is off to the front lines, while Veronika waits patiently, sending letters faithfully. After her house is bombed, Veronika moves in with Boris' family, into the company of a cousin with his own intentions.

17 July 2020 6 You watch the movie and you know exactly how it will end. The film is about love, but without the heat of passions, since the main character holds all emotions and feelings within herself, then we do not have much to worry about. This is a film about love in wartime: light, daring, young and selfless.

And camera work in its time was innovative. It seems to me that the film is about the fate of an ordinary girl who lost everything during the war. Eternal waiting and the unknown. And I understand how upset she was for Boris volunteering. He hastened their separation. The film also shows how difficult it is for parents to let their children go to war. It's scary and painful. I understand and do not condemn Veronica’s actions, I understand that she made a mistake again due to uncertainty. She was left completely alone, Mark took advantage of her grief and shock. And yet she waited for Boris, even knowing that he would come back and not forgive her betrayal. After watching the film, I was interested in the fate of actress Tatiana Samoilova. And how it ended and sad for her. close
