It is a film you may watch on TV without feeling that you are completely wasting your time, although I would not visit a movie theatre just to see it (well maybe I could given a peculiar mood, such as the end of a relationship). The plot is a clandestine love affair between two not very young, not very beautiful people (in this sense you enjoy it far more than the usual Hollywood fare, because you feel the heroes' level of sex appeal is not far from the average viewer's). But the characters are rather human and on the whole sufficiently convincing, especially the main characters' husband and wife. Special mention for Leonid Yarmolnik: in a few minutes' appearance he manages to convey a full fledged character, whereas everybody else in the film needs some time to impose him/herself upon the viewer. A good film for fans of close-ups.
