Little-known masterpiece I found this movie quite by accident. Studying the filmography of actor Andrei Martynov. The actor is brilliant, but was shot, unfortunately, little (the most famous films: ... And the dawns here are quiet, Eternal Call). Among other things, I decided to watch this movie. And I really enjoyed it.
In the film-debut of the director Nikolai Lyrchikov (I still love, I hope) two stories of nascent relationships are told: the first love of eighth-graders Nadia and Seryozha and the “late” love of their parents (nadina mother (Janna Prokhorenko), and a serious father).
The film is incredibly touching and true. Without too much pathos.
Children, with their age-specific maximalism, cannot accept parents’ explanations such as “it is difficult without a man in the household” or “she knows how to bake rosy cakes.” After all, the children themselves, sighing on the bench, hugging for the first time, timidly and shamefully, kissing on the cheek, soaring somewhere high. Their feelings are deep and true. Parents, of course, for their part, also treat the feelings of children as frivolous.
Time must pass, and some events must occur that will change the attitudes and attitudes of the friend of all four characters in this narrative.
The director (also the writer of the script) - clearly bravo and encore.
PS: I want to say separately about the participation in the film by Elena Proklova. She created a very bright image on the screen - Vali, girls with strange things. It's worth watching this movie for her. Remember how Celentano’s hero took off the tension in The Taming of the Shrew? Here you will find "our answer to Chamberlain" - a recipe for sedation from Vali.
