Three Poplars at Plyuschika (Three Poplars at Plyuschikha Street) (Tri topolya na Plyushchihe)

Kakie oni minuty schastya? Konechno, raznye. No est sredi nih i takie: sidit v taksi zhenshchina i poet. Vernee, staratelno, ne ochen umelo vyvodit pronzitelnuyu melodiyu: "...Opustela bez tebya zemlya, kak mne neskolko chasov prozhit..."
Strannoe inogda sluchaetsya v zhizni. Vstretilis dva cheloveka - simpatichnaya zamuzhnyaya derevenskaya zhenshchina, mat dvoih detey priehavshaya v Moskvu prodavat domashnyuyu vetchinu, i moskovskiy shofer, chelovek nemolodoy i daleko neslovoohotlivyy. Ne tak uzh mnogo vremeni budut oni ryadom, v mashine. Neobyazatelnye, beshitrostnye razgovory, a my vdrug poymem, chto pered nami - dva ochen rodnyh cheloveka.

Velikolepnaya rezhissura Tatyany Lioznovoy, tonkaya proniknovennaya igra Tatyany Doroninoy i Olega Efremova dayut nam vozmozhnost prikosnutsya k prekrasnym mgnoveniyam chelovecheskoy zhizni.
