This is a tiny budget feature that is adequate and if you understand Russian sometimes amusing with reasonable sense of humor, which will be lost if you have to read subtitles. It is not particularly original and somewhat trivial considering youth of the director.
There are some feeble attempts at poetry as in "love is like walking in a snow without leaving footprints" - from the diary of main character.
The story concerns thirty-something man, who suffered loss of his girlfriend due to the drunk driving accident where he was at fault - you see how original this is. Through the advise of a psychologist he settles in Moscow and gets a job in the magazine for women. He meets his neighbor, a rebellious but clever teen, who falls in love with him and he with her. We are shown standard situations with nothing original.
I suppose, the take away idea from this film is to, when you meet someone that clicks with you, then grab them and do not let them go, no matter what age they are. The statutory rape (the girl is seventeen) is no impediment.
