I saw this film maybe 10 years ago on a fairly large screen in Uppsala, and I've tried to locate on VHS or DVD (not likely) ever since, with no luck so far.
As I remember, I was impressed with the contemplative mood of the film. You have the typical Russian feeling of hardship found in many films, but it is overshadowed by a sense of family-warmth which all-in-all gives you a positive experience.
There's one particular scene which I will never forget, and consists of a girl on a swing. The scene is beautifully shot at a low angle, and one of the most telling pieces of film art I've ever seen, despite the simple setup.
If you have the chance, see it!
