This is cinema! Mastery in lights, sound, music, aesthetics and great acting performances at the service of a beautiful script.
The fight for survival after a nuclear disaster leads to a trial/balance of the era of Man on our planet with "lawyers" for the defense and for the prosecution leaving the conclusions to the spectator.
Prevailing, after all, after such a vile and depressing disaster, hope and optimism in the future.
Lopushanskiy previously worked as assistant director to Master Tarkovsky and it is noticed a clear influence.
Although the film is still from the USSR time, it is very little politicized and truely doesn't do the Soviet propaganda usual those times, amazing how well it passed in the censorship.
Great movie that I highly recommend.
