Vision is 90% of information In the Soviet Union, doctors were not deprived of the attention of cinema, but there are very few films specifically about ophthalmologists. It is understandable - it is difficult to come up with a plot that can captivate the viewer from the first minutes of viewing. Here the venerable author saves, and Igor Neverov has the only script experience. At the same time, in a very “scarce” timekeeping (76 minutes), the creators of the picture invested not only scientific research, but also the emotional experiences of the main characters. This is done by contrasting two men who are united by the search for “ways into the unknown,” but who are separated by the importance of what they are doing. For Andrei Taran (Vladimir Ivashov), each patient is his personal pain and responsibility. For physicist Sergey Tsarev (Vadim Medvedev), a single individual does not count, because he operates on hundreds of potentially saved people. True, though one, but she has a lot of halftones. Of course, saving a hundred lives is more important than one single one, but how can this very "separately taken" say about its "importance" in a universal human context? A similar duality of the “big” truth Tsarev sees physicist Elena (Nelli Pshennaya), and it is not easy for her to make a choice between two men dear to her heart. To some extent, the film can be called boring, but its task is not to entertain the viewer, but to make him understand the importance of the work of a young ophthalmologist and sincerely empathize with those with whom the disaster occurred. But not everyone wants to be compassionate. For example, the patient, the Englishman Ramsey, apparently, was needed by the screenwriter only to show the advanced developments of Soviet medicine. But what is needed grandmother, leading a blind grandson not on a pedestrian crossing, but towards a moving car - is not clear. But all this is small compared to the main message of the picture - you need not only to trust people, but also to trust them. .
