Nice moving movie. In a small family of two people - an elderly mother and son - peace reigns. The way of life is established and not violated by anything. All the attempts of the son to bring another woman into the house, the mother steadfastly and confidently repulsed, and the son belongs to her undivided. He is promoted, earns well, is well-mannered, always nice and courteous. What else does a mother need to calmly meet old age? And suddenly... One not the most beautiful day in their lives there is a five-year-old girl, a daughter (and granddaughter), the existence of which even father did not suspect.
It is clear that all life has gone awry. Mother ceased to be the center of the universe, the main character remembered that in addition to work and position in society there is something worth living for. A girl who behaves simply and directly does not understand many conventions in adult life. They have to be explained. But when explained, as a rule, it turns out that all these conventions are sheer absurdity. And how touchingly the girl was jealous of her father's heroine Ostroumova. One of the “mothered” ex-women of his beloved son.
Peltzer and Kuravlev made up a magnificent duet, played their roles on solid fives with a plus. The girl was wonderfully played by Katya Khorova, who, unfortunately, did not appear on the screens anymore. Also in small roles remembered: Nightingale, Ostroumov and Nikishchikhin. The film is wonderful, about how to properly place accents in life, and about the fact that the most beautiful thing in this life is children. Understanding this fact is available even to those who, it would seem, have long stale and covered with mold.
