    This is the story of an ordinary soldier in the Great Patriotic War, the birch-like Alyosha who went home to visit relatives. The journey home is long and the time is short. The experience of the young and kind-hearted Alyosha on this journey is a microcosm of history: the reunion of the disabled soldier and his wife stagnates, the Ukrainian refugee who left his hometown, and the husband who betrayed the frontline and invested in wealth. The wives in the arms of the people, the sick fathers who are proud of their sons, the bombed trains and the people who survived the death, and the flowers of love blooming in the war. Movies 50 years ago can still make us today shed tears of sympathy - the son who gave up the reward and traveled long distances to repair the roof for his mother, the aging mother who was looking forward to her son's return, and the love at first sight but could not be separated. two pure young men, for many husbands who will never come back and wives who work in the fields like men. I like this kind of movie, delicate, sad but not sad, not deliberate, but we know that everything is silent.
