The film had its premiere during perestroika, but it was actually shot at the end of the 70s as Sokurov's final thesis at the Moscow VGIK. Therefore, it is his first feature film. The liberating simplicity of the story about the birth and suffering of young love between war veteran Nikita and young student Ljuba, who try to start a life together after the civil war, is set in a country that has experienced so much and whose suffering is carried by all those who survived into their future lives. The hard-to-describe melancholic and depressive film images evoked by long-forgotten photographs from a time before the war or faded postcards from the belle époque make this film an unforgettable experience. The contemplation of the Russian soul in its crystalline form - and it's no wonder, as the film is dedicated to A. Tarkovsky. Happiness and love can only overcome obstacles in a country where people, like in an eternal cycle of history, are forced to work hard and suffer for their own bare lives.
