A warm seaside summer, youthful dreams, and the bitter taste of an impending war - this screening and meeting with curator Nikita Kotik immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of a fading childhood. Stories of friendship, hopes, and losses resonate particularly poignantly alongside the magic of Tariverdiev's music, leaving important thoughts. "Goodbye, Boys" is a film by Mikhail Kalik that is hard to remain indifferent to. From the very first frames, the viewer is transported to a serene seaside summer where three friends dream of the future, make plans, fall in love, and are unaware that tragic events await them ahead. This film is imbued with lightness and a bright sadness, reflecting the breath of a bygone era and a sharp nostalgia for the last summer of childhood. Nikita Kotik's introductory words - a film historian and curator of the series - add special meaning to the screening. His reflections help to feel the director's intent more deeply and understand why the film remains relevant. The story of the lives of the young heroes, unwittingly drawn into the whirlpool of war, sounds even more poignant when accompanied by Tariverdiev's melody. This meeting and screening will become an important part of the exhibition "The Last Summer of Childhood," reminding everyone of the fragility of dreams and the pricelessness of friendship. Viewers will not only be able to watch the cult film but also hear the curator's personal perspective on the details of the filming process, the historical context, and the fate of the creators.
