"Girls." Old, kind and a little naive. I'm sure almost everyone saw him. By the way, I was very surprised to learn that Soviet critics met the film “Girls” cool. The painting was considered too “small and household”.

According to the director’s idea, the film was to become a multi-part series. The director wanted to tell in detail about the fate of each of the girls. But the film studio did not support the idea and did not follow. Already in the nineties, Svetlana Druzhinina spoke about the continuation, but this project also remained "hanging in the air."

The film “Ascent” directed by Larisa Shepitko is based on the novel by Vasil Bykov “Sotnikov”. The film tells about two guerrillas who come from different social status families: a village man Rybak and a modest mathematics teacher Sotnikov.

They are both captured by the Nazis. But how different their fates are... A film about duty, honor, invincibility of will. The film is interesting not only for the plot, but also for the presentation, which refers to the biblical story about Judas and Christ.
