Let it be a long time ago.

Yes, and this is for anyone.

Where are the lights?

I still do not know.

There between me and about.

And he will not say, well, let him.

How are they?

And from here anywhere.

And how long.

I still do not believe it.

That's past me and about.

And he will not tell.

Well...

Synopsis: The narcissus-saga about a food and eaters, illustrating a statement that all humans eat friend by friend even at a thin level.

Human's freedom practically is not limited. In a modern society, from this axiom it deduces

an unlimited right to break interdictions and to break anyone moral

stereotypes. It is important, that infringement is perceived as something natural, and

it is treated as uncontrollable aspiration of human spirit to knowledge novel. It is not a

secret also, that mankind has abused with freedom by the will from times of Eden, and

Cain finally removed a question about borders admitted.

In extreme situations, as war, epidemic, heavy economic crisis,

the civilization quite often made a next coil of development in a return party. Probably,

such order is allowable or, anyway, socially also it is historically justified.

However, if the process is primary destructive, it has raised vital capacity.

An extreme situation settles itself, a historical necessity disappears.

Hopeless boredom, draft to knowledge are essentially supported already destroyed

by stereotypes. It gives the most unexpected effects.

To such conclusions come after viewing new, experimental film of D.Frolov "The daddy’s meat". Form-film is experimental here, first of all is shot in a negative. As against many pictures, which plot is under construction, by and large, on

search of the heroes, in "The daddy’s meat" the search is already completed. The world, in which the characters live, is painted in black-and-white colours, is poorly dynamical, but at all it is not deprived some

harmonies. Probably, some doubtful property. There, on a family picnic,

ordinary actions are made. Heroes eat, drink, occasionally exchange words. A mum, a daddy, a child and an aunt are normal. Appearance them thus not so much repellent, how many

strange. They are dressed slightly not in a case, and are more similar to humanoids. Fair

share of mysticism casts guesses about changed bodies, - to transformation, however, not

having any relation. The solution expects the spectator right at the end. And then arises

other question - whether human whim has no limits, whether immoral

does not exist at all, whether it is possible simply to laugh in all throat above very black

joke of the director.
