🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is cinema with character. It doesn't try to please everyone at once — it has its own position, its own intonation.

The film is honest with its audience. Doesn't promise more than it delivers — and that itself has value.

For those who find pleasure in details, not just in plot turns.

Director: Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich
