Simply a masterpiece of Ukrainian cinema, and a wonderful example of the Soviet era "painterly" style. "The events depicted in our film are separated from us by a small segment of time - just half a century. But when I think what has happened over these fifty years, and how it has changed the fate of my people, their psychology and life, it turns out that this film is about its very distant childhood, something that is always wonderful and unforgettable..." - Ivan Mykolayc
