A classic film of the "Leningrad school of the 1960s" - a panorama of the city and time, declaredly subjective. Intoxicated cinematic observation, endless movement is superimposed on the endless monologue of the tram driver Lyudmila Grigorovich - a lyrical hero, one of many. A symphony of a big city performed by a flute.
