Everyone wanted to live. . Someone is simple, someone is “beautiful”, someone is “cunning”. And now in 2022, almost the same thing. The darkness of truth is the general color of the Saga about the militia of Leningrad. This film scares, strains, touches and... still makes the viewer sad.
This is both power and ' truth-mother' film!
The main actor organically got used to the role and in ' fabric' script, around it formed that cadre backbone - and as a result, the truth of that era - the principles of policemen, on whose shoulders fell sleeve ' fate' countries and people of that time - to want to live and just survive ' to save' the remains of human principles in society!
Namely, on which the essence of the philosophy of any state (in crisis) is based, when every citizen has received ' freedom' choice in conditions of a small choice to have a dream - I want to live as I feel I can afford my Choice!
And if the honesty of the reflection of this philosophy ' need' then the film will appeal to those who love the Truth! those who like to hang out, make fun of ' lower ' as they think - they will not do!
So - the target group is a small number of citizens ' endured ' who will understand, say thank you, sad - but say thank you to the filmmakers - because it is them ' pull ' righteous cross (the fate of the country) on Calvary!
With the sad smile of the Creator!
