::::: PLOT SUMMARY :::::
This movie was originally filmed in 1962 as Zastava Ilyicha (The
Ilyich Gate). It was one of the first films that reflected the
younger generations resentment of the older generations ways.
The original title referred to Lenins paternal name (his full
name was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin). Even after the decanonization of
Stalin, Lenin still remained the icon for the old generation.
Ilyich was often used as an affectionate term in Soviet
iconography. The film invoked Soviet premier Nikita Khruschevs
sharp criticism. Meeting the studio members, he said: Do you want
us to believe in the scene where a father doesnt know how to
answer his sons question how to live? At the censors
insistence the movie was re-cut and released under the apolitical
title Mne Dvatdsat Let (Im Twenty) in 1964. In 1991, the film was
re-released and shown at the London Film Festival with ninety
minutes of the original footage restored, resulting in a film which
was 175 minutes long. In the story, a young man palling around in
Moscow with his friends is forced to confront the realities of his
future and choose a direction in which to go. His friends are
likewise brought up short by their limited opportunities for
realizing their dreams. They have jobs or schools waiting for
them, which are things their parents didnt have, so their older
relatives are puzzled by the youngsters evident distaste for
their choices. Some of the restored scenes include one in which
the boy meets his fathers ghost, and a long scene which takes
place at a poetry reading. The ghost scene, among others,
represented a significant break from hitherto obligatory film
conventions of social realism.
