As with all semi-documentary films, the value here is that it depicts real events, their testimony, and their memory. To show and make clear to those who have not seen, faced, not experienced, to make them understand that they are not so bad against the background of someone’s distant disasters. The rest of the film is average. There are no interesting characters in the picture. The drama is present, but I did not get emotional, although some really strong films succeed in this, here they tried to crush the tears mainly with music, and this technique I have long outgrown and consider as cheap as voiceover laughter. The plot for 15-20 minutes, and it was stretched for 2 hours: a family of 5 people first turns out to be divided into 3 groups, performs several “additional tasks” and then reunites at once – that’s all. On the one hand, I have no right to demand more from the film on real events, and on the other hand, I am still a viewer and as such I did not feel that I received anything from watching anything. Here the disaster itself took a minimum of time, and then it just passed once, and there is a household. More attention should have been paid to the survival of people during the disaster itself. The only thing that really liked - near the end of the flashback with a wave and a woman in the water, her catastrophically beautiful spin in an underwater storm and then climb to the halo of the sun. Yes, it was cinematic poetry. Unfortunately, this is the only notable scene in the whole film.
