What was a timid, shy, not the first youth of a man to do to get acquainted with a woman? No, not these days, but back in the 80s, when you don’t need the Internet, a mobile phone, or advanced techniques of the so-called “pickup” ...
Is it ponofeletim?Pitiful clubs “for those for whom ...” (an example of this is a short but capacious episode from the film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”)? Acquaintance announcement (which were published for some reason only in the freedom-loving Baltic newspapers)? Eh, it's not that ... And mom and dad, meanwhile, insist, put pressure on pity, they demand grandchildren! Yes, and the years run, you won’t stop. The hero of the film "Where is Nofelet?" Pavel.
At work, engineer Golikov was in good standing, the team was sensitive, female. But with personal life does not go well. Everything changes with the arrival of a relative from the province - the punchy reckless Gena. This home - grown don-juan knows a reliable method of acquaintance with the fairer sex. You need to go to your favorite "instance" and ask the question "in the forehead": "Where is the nofelet?" While a passerby, bewildered by an incomprehensible word, claps her eyes, one can begin to get acquainted. Not everyone, of course, pecks at the bait, they can even send it to hell, but most of the girls are responsive and really want to help the sufferer by telling them where the nofelet is, which they have not heard of. The casket opens simply: “Nofelet” - “telephone”, read backwards.
Good team
This lyrical comedy is consonant with “The most charming and attractive”, a sort of “male version” of it. If in that film everything rested on Irina Muravyova and Tatyana Vasilyeva, then the actors also decide a lot in this film. “Where is Nofelet” gathered a good team of performers. First of all, it’s Alexander Pankratov-Cherny (Gene’s joker along with his role in the film “We Are From Jazz” - the artist’s “calling cards”) and Vladimir Menshov (Pavel), who is still more attracted to many moviegoers as a director (“Love and Pigeons” , already mentioned "Moscow ...", "Draw" - has long been a classic of domestic cinema). The veterans of the screen, Lyudmila Shagalova, Nikolai Parfyonov, echoed the soloists, not so famous in the small roles as now, Irina Rozanova, Elena Safonova.
Take courage
It’s a pity that the days of such works as the movie “Where is Nofelet” have passed. People miss something good and simple, not burdened with special effects and massacres. Numerous series do not save the situation, they are one-day events, the creators of which do not burden themselves with either high-quality casting, or a more or less logical coherent plot.
Returning to Paul and his cousin. Transforming the appearance of a bachelor and trying to arrange his personal life, slightly “ponofelit” along the streets of the capital, Gene suddenly slammed from heaven to earth. Tired of waiting for her husband to return from a prolonged family visit (in fact, the purpose of the trip was quite legal: to get scarce furniture), Don Juan's wife, a sharp and authoritarian lady, appeared. It turns out that he once hooked it up, asking: "Where is the nofelet?" From the dude the whole gloss flew off at once. But Pasha finally got the courage to speak with a stranger, every day traveling with him on the same route. The morality expressed by the director Gerald Bezhanov and screenwriter Anatoly Eyramdzhan turned out to be similar to the message “Charming and attractive”: happiness is near, you just have to be able to notice it and catch it ... It’s much harder to keep. But this is a completely different story.
