Dramatic events and realistic life circumstances make it unique and exciting.

The key moment reflecting this transformation is the scene of Andrei's first fight with another teenager. It illustrates his desire to prove his worth among new friends.

The scene in which Marat reveals his vulnerable side to Andrey looks especially convincing, demonstrating that even under a cruel mask there is a man hiding.
