Reviews
"The film was certainly intended as a contribution to the discussion about morality and free love, which had flared up in the Soviet Union at the time."
“With this topic, which was new to him, Kuleschow also used a new working method. Instead of carefully preparing the sequences about everyday life in Moscow shot by shot in the script, he captured the local flavor "in the act". "
