In front of theater lighting technician Peter Ryabikov, a first-grade girl runs across the road in front of a nearby watering machine. Pyotr catches her and, wanting to punish her, decides to take her home to her parents. However, when he takes her there, it turns out that it is an orphanage, and the girl, whom her friends call Tonya (her real name is Juliet), is an orphan. Pyotr is no longer young, lives in a communal apartment, has a wife, but no children. Feeling somewhat guilty towards Tonya, he wants to adopt her. So, in the large apartment, where only adults had lived before, a little girl appears who completely changes their monotonous life.
Directed by Ayan Shakhmaliyeva, Strange Adults leans on a strong ensemble — Lev Durov, Zinoviy Gerdt, Yevgeniya Khanayeva — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1975.
