Klava and Seryozha (Sergey) have been together since preschool. He, one of the smartest kids in school, has always been in love with her but considered her more of just a pretty face rather than an intelligent person. He let her copy his homework and gave her his parents' things as gifts. When they are teens, Klava rejects his love because she knows that he doesn't value her for her, and instead is attracted to Lavrik, another intelligent boy from school. Klava likes him because for the first time she feels like someone is really interested in her as a person. Seryoszha, being very dramatic and wanting Klava's/everyone else's sympathy, writes a suicide note, "Please blame Klava K. for my death," but can he really commit suicide? Eventually he realizes that he is being too shallow and that while he makes such a drama out of such small problems, the people around him have real problems, but never said a thing. close

The painting “Beauty Salon”, first released in 1985 and shot by Alexander Pankratov-Cherny, takes its deserved place in the classics of Soviet cinema. The heroines of the film are two friends. One, Maria, could not bear the hardships of family life and divorced her husband long ago. The other, Ophelia, lives on the edge. Love has cooled, and how to return the old fervor, neither Ophelia nor her husband know. They suffer, constantly swearing, losing mutual understanding, not wanting to accept and give in. The idea that it is time to put an end, suggests itself.
Ophelia tells Maria about her experiences and she, being a real friend, decides to help. In addition to the usual advice, it applies other, more radical measures. Meets with Ivan, the second half of Ophelia, and tries to convey to him the essence of the claims of his wife. Over time, the soul-saving conversations turn into conversations on more abstract topics, and Maria suddenly realizes that her, a single divorced woman, and Ivan, the wife of a best friend, are connected by a spiritual kinship that gradually turns into something more.
