Not much "happens" in this movie. It's mostly a lyrical expression of unfulfilled yearning and the constraints of bourgeois life. The performances don't always convey this passion very well. Batalov is pretty good, Savvina sometimes seems distant. However, the camerawork is exquisite, and I love how Kheifits languishes in the details surrounding the couple. I was particularly struck by the ending, which has an ambiguity quite rare in a romance. Not a perfect film, but a lovely and poetic one.
