Aleksei German's film is a subtle and poignant story about the past, told in the language of memory. The screen narrative, seemingly woven from fragments of old memories, transports the viewer to a communal apartment of the 1930s and reveals the personal dramas of the characters through a child's perception. Aleksei German's cinematic language is distinguished by its unique texture - dense, almost physically palpable. His film, based on the works of Yuri German, not only depicts everyday scenes and chronicles but breathes time. The story unfolds in the provincial town of Unchansk, where the head of the criminal investigation department, Ivan Lapshin, lives and works among ordinary people - artists, investigators, neighbors in the communal apartment. But all events are shown not directly, but through the prism of the memories of a boy who later became a writer. German creates a unique fabric of storytelling where the present and the past merge in a cinematic flow. His camera seems to sway with contemplation, getting lost in the haze of everyday life, lingering on details - a glance, a sound, a movement. This is not action and not drama in the conventional sense, but a quiet, lingering, and very honest expression of humanity, friendship, fear, love, and the premonition of impending change. The screening is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Nina Ruslanova's birth, who played one of the key roles in the film. This is a special occasion to look at her performance again - delicate, alive, as if taken not from the script, but from life. The screening will take place with the support of the State Film Fund of Russia. This is a rare opportunity to see one of the most important works of domestic cinema on the big screen and feel how multifaceted the visual poetics of memory can be.
