Russian-Japanese animation, and even in such an interesting style (paint on glass), few people can leave uninterested.
However, what looks beautiful on screenshots, in animated form, causes much more questions. It’s like smoke, some characters can’t be distinguished from each other, but that’s not the problem. Such a style can work on the author’s idea, if the general entourage is pleasant and the viewer, as with a book, himself fills all the gaps in the visual series “from the head”. Here the opposite effect is amplified.
The plot itself is filled with such longing and hopelessness that you want to tear the hair on your head. Exalted slackers and slackers of all ages rub elbows with a half-drunk man who does not value life, and does not fear death.
The main character of the gymnasium in his 16 years falls in love, passionately, in different ways and in several ladies at once. He likes the maid Pasha, who also feels sympathy for him, but at the same time does not leave him alone and the sublime image of a girl from a nearby dacha. Both attachments do not shine much - Pasha does not fit the class, and Seraphim is old.
The second, moreover, she understands how strange it is to respond to the affection of the gymnasium student with reciprocity, but she can do nothing to herself. Only inexperience saves the poor protagonist from being corrupted. Unfortunately, he does not realize that he is very lucky, and begin to grieve about the missed.
Pasha makes the only right decision - to go from there to far away. Unlike a gymnasium student in the clouds, she has to be much more prudent and cautious. It is better to end such a relationship on a high note before the parents tell the teenager about the right of the first night or take him to a brothel (as, about the same years, Chekhov was brought).
