This remarkable salute to the passionate spirit of Romanticism focuses on the elusive quality of adolescent love with a maturity and perspective normally lacking in treatments of this theme. Set in the sunshine of a summer camp, the film is divided into chapters, each exploring a teenager’s growing awareness of the mysteries of life. Each character has a deficiency which he must accept and even embrace if his life is to continue, and director Solovyov has succeeded in bringing out the vibrant fragility of the age in this sensitive, softly photographed drama which was the official Soviet entry in the Berlin Film Festival.
