An meinem Tod ist Klawa K. schuld

This film is a touching story about life in the USSR in the 70s and 80s. About first love and internal conflicts. About conflicts between teenagers, about conflicts between adults who were also teenagers once.

The film was released in 1979, but it is still relevant today, because we are the children with whom the first frames of the film begin.

From the first minutes - already in the scene with the acorns - the principle of "faster, higher, stronger" is visible. There are no fights, but there is vivid verbal aggression, and despair, and indifference, and devaluation of children, and bullying by children of children, and bullying by adults - everything is visible and everything explains a lot.

Among the powerful, non-standard and unexpected for its time scenes related to medicine and neurobiology, the episode of feeding the baby, based on the principle of mirror neurons, stands out.

It is interesting that these neurons were discovered only in the early 1990s by scientists from the University of Parma in Italy. And the Soviet film of 1979 was more than a decade ahead of this world scientific discovery! Another notable moment is the desynchronization of hearing and voice, which, according to the script, will also be successfully corrected.

The film was shot with great attention to detail: school corridors, courtyards, waiting under windows...

And also, it has many phrases that have become catchphrases, from "Why are you crying? Let's go collect acorns!" to "You can't think that the Mona Lisa was painted just to wipe someone's nose."
