Plot

[edit]

A girl Tanya lives with her divorced mother in a small Russian Far East City of Primorsk. Her father, colonel, whom she had never seen, was dispatched from Moscow to Primorsk and brings his wife and his adopted son Kolya with him. Tanya and Kolya become friends and fall in love. A part of the drama is a local Nanai boy Filka, Tanya's long-time childhood friend.[4]

Reception

[edit]

The parting scene of Filka and Tanya, when Tanya sees the suntanned imprint of her name on Filka's chest demonstrates Fraerman's idea of the eternity of natural human feelings.[5]

-How little you are, Filka. After all, all this will burn up and disappear as soon as winter comes and you put a warm shirt on.
-But the sun is so strong! Will everything really disappear? Maybe something will remain?
-You're right, Filka: everything can't disappear. Otherwise, where will our eternal friendship go?[5][6]
