Sergei Parajanov was afterwards not very satisfied with his socialist realistic films. But why exactly? Lyudmila Cherepanova was a dream woman. Not only beautiful, she also had brains. At least that's how Lyuda appears as leader of the Komsomol. In short, she personifies the socialist ideal. Khristina is the antithesis of Lyuda (the first names were not chosen this way by chance). She strays from the socialist path and falls prey to a Pentecostal church led by an obscure sect leader. She will experience disillusionment.
Parajanov is allowed to experiment some more in the editing, the inevitable chimneys cannot be missed and there are a few beautiful shots of the mine (construction) in the Donbas. The score is by Igor Shamo enhanced with some bajan folk music.
