Reviews
“The film design did not do justice to the topic - marital infidelity in its effect on children; The film does not get beyond high-end colportage. "
“What is new is that here, instead of being hooligans, it is the parents who create the cause of the conflict and one tries to correctly point out the time problems, if not to solve them; with convincing actors, sensible dialogues. "
