the seal of period. this is the basic aspect who seems be most important in this film. the desire of Malvina Urșianu to send her message in the most useful manner, with small ideological compromises, using the right actors and giving new nuances to a classic theme.for many viewers , it could be strange. the cold words from dialogues. the slow rhythm of story. the artificial poetry of emotions, the sentimental triangle looking recreating and, maybe, change the past. in fact, it is a splendid film. first for few superb scenes - the dialogue in church is only one-. the second - for the special romanticism who becomes map for memories of public. and for one of admirable roles of Ion Marinescu, confiscated, in too many occasion, by the propaganda machine. sure, Silvia Popovici remains the star of a film who remains a kind of eccentric gem of Romanian cinematography.
