What can love do? Do you know what a woman can do if she loves? Move mountains. And men for her, too. In principle, this is the cornerstone of the film. This movie is simple and interesting. But surprisingly thoughtful and relevant.
Ukraine, Chernihiv region. At the station Nezhin arrives composition with nuclear cargo. The task of dispatchers is to skip it, give it green. But besides the bosses, there are those who think differently. They decide to hold the train. Of course, this annoys the bosses. But more on that later.
Pay attention to the artists of the film. You recognize a mustachioed dispatcher with a distinctive accent? Later he became an agitator of the APU and an anti-Russian liberal, taking the pseudonym Grigory Amnuel. He is not a very good actor, but his directorial talent has found application.
The negative character in this film is ND (the first section of the road). He comes to the lepo to clean up himself. The situation is tense to the limit. And she is saved by the secretary Lida, she is a charming slender Olga Ageeva. It's not a sin to fall in love with her. She's having affairs on the side and she's not embarrassed. I put an eye on the girl and everything was decided. Love? Yes, there is. Lida lured NOD into a trap, and while he was watching football, the depot workers decided to correct the situation.
Alas, as in The Highway, the film is full of technical blunders. For example, uncoupling a locomotive means refueling it, not lagging behind schedule. The head of the depot, who caught a fish, could hardly get an instruction, without a radio and a mobile phone. Thirdly, simply to brake the tank will not work. And then there are a lot of blunders and shoals.
The most important thing is the availability of cinema in translation, and in some places it is replaced by an Uzbek translation, since the Russian original was lost in the state film fund. But I think it makes sense. Disassembly, orders, papers, fines - the whole routine of the USSR Ministry of Railways has flowed to us. But at the time, people loved their jobs and devotedly served the railroads of their homeland. Not right now. Money and kickbacks everywhere. Previously, at least paid decently and to be an employee of the MPS sounded proud.
The film did not reach the maximum assessment. lacked the intensity and drama, linear plot and love between people. It was one day in the life of the USSR. Which people in this movie lived with dignity.
