This picture was released long before I was born, but the atmosphere seemed close and familiar to me, as if I once lived in that unremarkable town.
The story of a 13-year-old teenager who puts up with the hardships of life both at home and at school will not leave the viewer indifferent. The lack of upbringing, any support of elders determines the actions of Boris, often spontaneous and illogical. Difficulties in communicating with peers, malleability and at the same time cowardice... I just want to reach out and call out "Where are you going?" "What are you doing?" But the boy is introduced to himself... Until a young teacher appears in his life with his own views on the world and the ability to defend these views (sometimes to his own detriment). Contact is not established immediately, through a series of troubles and conflicts. And it is this process of rapprochement, barely perceptible and unobtrusive, that sets the main tone for the entire tape. The topic of the relationship between an adult and a child is presented here in the best light. And this is just one of the reasons why I recommend this film for viewing.
