"The versatile Yatsenko, maintaining his fruitful collaboration with director Boris Khlebnikov, hits a new creative peak as a skillful but unreliable paramedic, eliciting the audience's contempt at times and its sympathy at others. The actor finds endless degrees of human imperfection between these two poles, giving a performance that allows the whole movie to work."

"The film, which is told at eye-level, simultaneously reveals the story of ordinary people and the social reality that oppresses their lives on a daily basis. The film weaves the two worlds with success, with great magic and with a cinematic, stimulating and thought-provoking film."

For making the jury members' hearts skip a beat.
