A movie about love and betrayal. About war, about returning from war. However, the film does not reflect Platonov's important theme of epiphany. In the story, the protagonist does not just forgive his wife, but begins to realize how hard it was for her in the rear and at the same time realizes his selfishness and moral deafness. The peculiarity of the movie is that the characters speak in Platonovian constructions, which sound very unusual for ordinary speech.
