Dear Comrades!

The audience's emotional response is dominated by profound sadness and empathy, stemming from the brutal historical events of the Novocherkassk massacre and Lyudmila's desperate search for her missing daughter amidst a collapsing worldview. High levels of anxiety, fear, anger, and a disturbing atmosphere reflect the oppressive regime, the violence, and the pervasive sense of danger and injustice. Melancholy underscores the film's somber historical reflection and the personal tragedy of shattered ideals.
