Promising beginning, actually. Tarkovsky's shadow but only the shadow, the sound and the organisation and filming of space can evoke some of his films far but as soon as the father arrives (as soon as there's something to tell in fact) : that's the end of our hopes !!! The whole film swim in excessive sentimentality and 'univocity' of point of view, the actor's direction (especially concerning the main character) is very bad and enough to ruin all the rest. The plot too is very loose and repetitive, and it's so heavily presented that I doubt Tarkovsky would have ever done that or simply a good scenarist. Relations between father and son or daughter are not developed... incredible !! Has it been cut ?? I saw 91 min version.
