Ecitons of Burcelli And who does he leave behind?
- Ants.
The famous scientist turns 60 years old. At his house were gathered loving relatives. The casual conversations turn to sincere concerns about the health of the anniversary. For the holiday, he decided to risk his life and make a parachute jump. Almost everyone is concerned about whether he issued a power of attorney. If not, how to divide the property.
Will this touchy topic come up at the festive table? The head of the family has a valuable collection of insects, there is also a collection of original paintings by famous artists. What about this good? The author of the play Sergey Mikhalkov causticly denounces cowardly morals. It seems that the spiritual scope and inner strength of the anniversary is not important to anyone.
Then he can bequeath everything to one Raisa... disaster, what to do?
- What are you going to do? Do you want to sue your heirs?
This is no surprise to anyone now. In those days, it seemed like a moral downfall. This is what Sergey Mikhalkov touches on in his work, I think personally familiar with more than one similar situation.
Raisa Pavlovna, where is your little Levitan? He was hanging in Dad's office. Now in its place hangs a photo . . .
In fact, In terms of sarcasticity, this plot would be ideal for Ryazanov of the 70s. He would have invited both Basilashvili and Mironov. In the format of a modest TV show of this story "close". However, even the proposed actors are incredibly accurate. Leonid Filatov ironically abstracts from the "rat race" for inheritance. And the charming Nonna Terentyeva shows just blatant greed. Pyotr Shcherbakov outwardly quite a correct lawyer, who apparently cares more about the "proper distribution" of property. And Nikolai Zasukhin, who played the anniversary, fascinates with his unconditional diction. . .
Of course, this story should have been revealed on a larger scale. It's just outlined. Without a doubt, there should be a picturesque plein air and much more refined camera work. But such a modest television work today remains not so much as a significant artistic project, but as an artifact of social processes that took place in those years. On the example of Ecitona Burcelli, one can note the cardinal gap between the military generation of idealists and their children, pragmatically looking at life.
