The story line in this film starts to wear thin after about 30-40 minutes. It takes place in the Soviet Union in the mid-70's and we get an interesting view of life there. There is a black-market, students are bored in the class-room and they listen to rock-and-roll.
Unfortunately the story surrounding this is rather simple – boys are trying to meet girls with the usual results. The on-again off-again relationship between the two main protagonists became strained after the 2nd or 3rd break-up. It just becomes a little repetitive and boring. The acting is good but the story lacks any progression after the first 45 minutes.
