When the Bridges Are Raised (1963)
Intensely and for a long time Valery was looking for an occasion for achievement. Seventeen years of boring life have formed a scornful gait among the young man in protest towards an eventless world. But ordinary everyday difficulties came, followed by the responsibility for making decisions. And it turned out that everyday life is not just past days. This is real life.
