“I have nowhere to go. I'm at my house. The script is based on the story of the Soviet writer-non-returner Anatoly Vasilyevich Kuznetsov “At Home”. The work is quite characteristic of that time, and moreover in its own way very personal, very interesting. The undoubted merit of two directors Eduard Gavrilov and Valery Kremneva is their choice of the main character. There are many famous and talented actors in the film: Yuri Nazarov, Anatoly Kuznetsov, Georgy Zhyonov, Olga Aroseva, etc., but the central character around whom everything in the film revolves is Galya Makarova - the brightest debut of Tamara Degtyareva.
The plot develops calmly, leisurely, measuredly - like life itself, taking place in the village. The camera in the hands of Sergey Zaitsev manages to show both the hard work of milkmaids and natural poetics - in the clubs of fog, in the bird's babbling. Against this background, the viewer sees how the heroine changes. How to replace the stiffness and insecurity of a visiting girl comes confidence in themselves, in their abilities, in their friends. Galya Makarov is changing not only externally, but – and this is especially noticeable – internally. Naive enthusiasm is replaced by the understanding that the world around is filled with deception and hypocrisy, and the first timid feeling can bring a lot of pain and disappointment instead of happiness.
If Galya in the eyes of the viewer throughout the picture only grows as a person, then the collective farm shepherd Kostya (Yuri Nazarov), with whom she would like to associate fate, only falls. Visually, they look so different and emotionally and in age (although Tamara Degtyareva is only 24 and Yuri Nazarov is 31) that it is difficult to imagine them together. In the film, melodic and beautiful music, “shadowing” the heartfelt feelings of the heroine. In addition, very soulful songs performed by Larisa Mondrus (song "Autumn on the beach"), as well as Inna Myasnikova and Zoya Kharabadze (song "All because"). Good, bright, "slow" movie.
