Those viewers who in the eighties of the twentieth century watched with great interest the adventures of Krosh (Sergei Krasheninnikov), took with no less interest the new story from his life. Actors “Sunday, half past six” - a film that was released in 1988 - embodied a case from practice that happened with Sergei, who had already matured.
Krosh's first affair
In this picture, Sergey Krasheninnikov (actor Vasily Funtikov) is a young lawyer. He is doing an internship at the prosecutor's office. Once he was charged with the death of a young girl whose body was found in a forest, not far from the highway. At first glance, the case was very simple and straightforward, because an autopsy showed that she died herself because her spleen had burst. Sergey had only to establish the identity of the deceased.
The actors of the film “Sunday, half past six” showed the whole depth of the human soul: from vicious indifference to the fate of another person, lies and “friendship” in its most disgusting manifestation to human decency, desire and desire to help a completely stranger.
Inner restlessness
So, everything is simple and there seems to be nothing to do. But Sergei, despite the fact that he had already become older and more reasonable, remained the same truth-seeker and truth-seeker. He still loves Pushkin and still tries to make everything right and logical. He was interested in the reason why the deceased girl, who was called by the usual and beautiful name Sonya (actress Gelena Kirik), suddenly found herself on the other side of Moscow, where she should not have been.
Sergei does not understand why no one paid attention to her, because on that unfortunate Sunday a lot of people gathered in the meadow. He, who lives by his honest rules and principles, will not understand in any way why not a single person helped Sonya in such a busy place when she needed her so much. After all, if the ambulance arrived on time, the girl could be saved.
Specially unfamiliar actors were selected for this picture. “Sunday, half past six” has become one of those mini-series, after watching which you understand how important it is to remain a Human in any life situation. That's right, with a capital letter. After all, other behavior can cost someone the dearest - life.
Own investigation
On his own initiative, Sergey begins to investigate this ridiculous death. He comes several times to this clearing, where everything happened, trying to find witnesses of that day. His acquaintance with a group of teenagers who often rest in this clearing takes place there. They also saw Sonya, who approached them to listen to music. Later, already striding as a friendly team home, they saw her again when the girl was sitting, leaning her back against a birch. If not for their indifference, everything could have been different. But ... Teenagers live by their principles: we do not bother anyone, but you do not bother us either. Therefore, this is what happened.
When Sergei tries to talk to them without a protocol, just to their liking, they get angry, rude to him, considering themselves the smartest guys. Krasheninnikov understands that because of something they do not tell him the whole truth and even lie.
The film "Sunday, half past six", actors and roles for whom they were not chosen very seriously, he clearly demonstrated what such indifference leads to and how these teenagers, after repeated communication with Sergey, become people who admit their own mistakes, and even help him in the investigation.
And all this wonderful transformation of the guys was played by young, unknown actors. "Sunday, half past six" - a film that has shown such a metamorphosis.
Another sad link in this chain of unfortunate accidents was that a doctor could help a dying Sonya, who, by chance, ended up in that very place. Her “friends”, having voted on the highway, at first wanted to take Sonya with them, but after the doctor Gennady Borovoi (actor Vladimir Ilyin) approached her from a stopped car and helped nothing, they decided to leave the girl under a tree and with a clear conscience have left. In appearance, he was a very respectable man, but when he was called to the prosecutor's office, he dodged and lied that he was driving along a different road that day.
Cinema about people, about the human factor
Yes, it was a dull, not well-known, but rather good movie. A movie about what really happened on that fateful day. It was shot in a difficult year, when the entire system of the state was already shaken and became very doubtful.
And yet, he cannot help but remain in the shower after watching the movie “Sunday, half past six”. The actors and roles they played in these four series are real, lively, so familiar - albeit not outwardly, but in characters or actions. Suppose that the film does not have an action of today, there is no beautiful picture and complicated editing. But there are people in it, their relationships, sometimes strange concepts about friendship and how to spend the weekend. But in general, the picture was very interesting. Of those that you will not forget in five minutes, turning off the TV.
That's how talented they played in the film the actors. “Sunday, half past six” - a wonderful film, besides - a continuation of the “Vacation of Krosh”, which was beloved by millions of Soviet viewers, which was released nine years earlier. And the protagonist himself is the last bastion of a powerful state. He is principled and incorruptible; he knows what honor, honesty and decency are.
