4 of 5 The plot with twins, when others do not know that they are two, and are constantly confused with each other, is a win-win card. A huge number of films have been built on it, and it works in this cute Estonian film. The film looks easy from beginning to end, without giving yourself a reason to turn off. If it were not for the frequent mentions of Tallinn, the Soviet car and motor park in the frame and the flickering names of ships written in Cyrillic, then one could easily think that the action takes place in Spa, or in Leman, except not in 1959, but is set five or seven earlier - both in technique, and in equipment, and in clothing there are no direct signs of the USSR. People smile, love, strive for sports achievements, look for happiness in life - everything is like everywhere.
The atmosphere of races of the 50s is well conveyed, when in helmets-halves and leather jumpsuits, where from the protection there is only a second layer of skin on the seat, so as not to rub against the motorcycle, people roll like crazy on a narrow uneven track fenced with concrete pillars. In particularly dangerous places, a bag of hay tied to a column replaces the current departure area with gravel. The riders of the past are a caste of desperate and fearless people, and those who worked as a balance passenger in a wheelchair carriage are people entirely of titanium alloy!
Single motorcycles are built mainly on the basis of the DKW 125, heavy wheelchairs are domestic sports opponents. Technical issues are practically not disclosed: motorcycles show, but mainly general plans.
As expected, the Soviet film has a happy ending. The youth will finish on the podium and will defend the honor of the republic at international competitions, productive but arrogant old men-lovelas are written off as a reserve. Plus, everyone will know there are two sisters. One is a ballerina, the other is a motorcycle racer. I didn't think identical twins could have such different hobbies.
