Critical response
Film critic Alexander Fedorov notes in his review:[7]
In phantasmagoric black-and-white dreams, ingeniously filmed by cinematographer Mikhail Agranovich, one can catch echoes of the director's former poetic metaphors, but otherwise Vadim Derbenev tries to keep within the framework of the traditional genre of crime drama. Tries... But comes out superficial and boring.
