A subtle melodrama in the old style about youth, memories and the first infatuation that never stops to shine. It is a story about the encounter between two separate universes, of a Russian student and an American researcher, in a tent in nature amidst stunning landscapes of the Caucasus. It begins well and ends well, too. The visual form which illustrates the film contents is an experiment with the format and the use of black, white and colour. With a scent of nostalgia, this cinema evokes the spirit of narration that is rare nowadays. It pays tribute to an old-style romance and is an expression of longing for the little big experiences in life.
