One of the best film stories about the 90s. A fascinating story and brilliant actors! I liked the variety of storylines, you watch the story of each character with great interest. Sasha, played by Yegor Gubarev , is a personality that excites with its unpredictability. In each story, the attitude to him varies from strong empathy to hurtful disappointment, depending on the chosen way to solve a particular problem. Naturalness and avoiding patterns is one of the weighty criteria of this series. Although I did not find the period described in the conscious age, it was very exciting to get into its atmosphere. And it is sad to realize how much we have irretrievably lost, surrendering to the power of digitalization. Look at this creation is certainly worth it, regardless of belonging to a particular generation, because here perhaps one of the most important moral principles in the life of every person is revealed. This series is about perseverance, choice, true friendship, overcoming oneself, and mainly about love. A special place in the film is occupied by the grandfather (played by Sergei Stepin) and his difficult fate. My heart ached when, as the story progressed, new "wounds" of his ambiguous past opened up. And in this vein, I would like to add that this picture is even more important - about forgiveness. I tried to describe the series to a friend so that he would watch it, but to my surprise I realized that I could not do it in words. This is the very case when the creators were able to bring something more to the cinema, intangible and wordless, which you feel only when watching and can not express in words alone. Therefore, I believe that this series is worth seeing once to make up your own impression, at least, it will definitely not be a waste of time, even if you do not like Russian cinema.
P.S. I watched all 8 episodes excitedly in one evening and without hesitation put 10 out of 10!
