Plot
A government-appointed factory executive, Sergey Abrikosov is reduced to quivering confusion when he is dismissed. Recovering from this blow, he decides to review and realign his life.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Soviet drama about a dismissed factory executive who has to rethink his life. Raizman keeps the tone modest, and the hero's private reckoning is more interesting than any workplace plot. A thoughtful, humane look at ordinary life after losing status.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
