Utomlennye solntsem plot

"A moving and poignant story set against the corrupt politics of the Stalinist era."

Russia, 1936: Hero of the Russian revolution Colonel Kotov spends an idyllic summer at his dacha with his young wife, his 6-year-old daughter Nadya, other relatives and friends. The summer calm changes dramatically with the unannounced visit of cousin Mitya from Moscow, a real charmer who impresses the women. He also takes over little Nadya with his games and piano playing. But Kotov won't be fooled: it's the time of Stalin's repression with ominous phone calls in the middle of the night and he knows Mitya didn't come for the fun.

Only when Mitya shows up and works her way firmly among the family members does the possible connection with the opening scene and the true theme of the film come closer and it quickly becomes clear that it is not just a story of a former love.
For a long time, however, the film is content with characterizing a number of, in fact, not very interesting, characters, which does not prevent this section from containing a few cleverly and meticulously shot scenes, in which, strangely enough, little Nadya is very often in the spotlight. Although this section may not be the most captivating part of the film, an increased tension is systematically palpable and the film's ending is ultimately of a high standard.
Convincing acting across the board.

What a boring long-winded film. Okay, a star for the role of little Nadya, for the rest I really don't understand the current reviews.
