About the plot
The four-episode film “The Big Change” (actors and roles will be described later) was shot based on the novel “Going to People” by G. Sadovnikov in 1972-1973. Wonderful school years are an occasion for nostalgia and pleasant memories. But for the main character Nestor Petrovich and a whole (mostly female) team of teachers, this is a vocation. A young and promising university graduate with a lot of knowledge failed entrance exams to graduate school, while his girlfriend successfully coped with them. Pride and pride push him to a desperate act - parting with his beloved and voluntary exile - employment in the evening school of working youth. History is an interesting subject, and the young teacher is eager to put knowledge into the heads of his wards. However, as it turned out, many of his students are older than their teacher and cause him a lot of trouble. Difficulties at work, family problems, love and friendship - now Nestor Petrovich lives the life of his pupils.
Many actors of the film "Big Break" are familiar to the viewer, because these are real stars of Soviet and Russian cinema. In the photo above - Rolan Bykov.
Mikhail Kononov
The role of a young and ambitious teacher was played by Mikhail Kononov. At the time of filming, the actor was 33 years old, which corresponded to the role. He defined his role by the term "tragic comedian." And it's hard to argue with that. The combination of soft comic play and deep drama was fully embodied by Nestor Petrovich. The image of a teacher suffering from unrequited love and worrying about the life of his students became one of the best in his entire career.
Evgeny Leonov
Now they would say that the film "Big Change", whose actors were one more famous than the other, gathered stars, which is true. At the time of filming, E. Leonov was a very popular film and theater actor, whom the viewer loved. He got the role of father Stepan Semenovich Ledenev - the oldest student in the class, who also goes to classes with his adult daughter Nelly. She does not encourage her father’s craving for knowledge and tries in every possible way to "wean" him from school.
Svetlana Kryuchkova
The charming actress played the role of Nelly Ledeneva, the daughter of the previous character. From the first minutes of the appearance of Nestor Petrovich at school, she fell in love with him. By all means trying to win the broken heart of the teacher, she swears with her father. In addition to her acting talent, Kryuchkova reveals her vocal abilities in the film.
Alexander Zbruev
The young and promising actor got the role of slobber and loser Grigory Ganzhi. His character, although not drawn to knowledge, has an endless supply of optimism, humor and charm. This to some extent brings him to the police. Despite the formal relationship at school, he becomes a good friend of Nestor Petrovich, and, as it turns out, he is a husband of the Russian language teacher. His role has become one of the most striking and charismatic, A. Zbruev, of course, adorned the film “Big Change” with his presence. Actors and roles are selected flawlessly, in accordance with the role and characters.
Yuri Kuzmenkov
Already popular at the time of filming, the Soviet actor was approved for the role of Vani Fedoskin. He is not only the headman of the “adult” class, but also remains a childhood friend of Polina (the bride of Nestor Petrovich), with whom, however, she has not been communicating for a long time. And yet, the relationship between teacher and student is still quite strained.
Savely Kramarov
The performer of the role of Petit Timokhin only confirms his boundless talent in the field of the comedy genre in the film "Big Break". The actors got used to their roles one hundred percent. This character was not in the story, he was added as planned by the scriptwriters and the director, but he fit in with the company harmoniously, and it is simply impossible to imagine 9 “A” without him. Timokhin is distinguished more than once by his stinginess, which becomes the reason for Ganji's jokes. Well, at the end of the film, he finds his future wife - Victoria Korovyanskaya, and with great enthusiasm takes up the issues of her education and adaptation to work.
