In his book, the wonderful screenwriter Boris Tikhonovich Dobrodeev (Peru belongs to the scenarios of several dozen documentary and game films, such as: "Red diplomat", "particularly important task", "Sophia Kovalevskaya", "Karl Marx. Young years", "split" , "Life of Beethoven", "bitter. Last years,", "Ilya Erenburg" and others), brightly figuratively tells about their roots, their family, and its time. On the pages of his book, the party functionaries that were responsible for the film industry, and the main actors of the Soviet cinema, and those whose merits are undeservedly forgotten are appeared. The author talks about V. Pudovkin, A.Odyzhenko, M. Romanm, I. Piriev, E. Gabllovic, L. Kulidzhanov, Tukhraye and many others, with whom his work brought. He narrates with pain about the latest events in the Union of Cinematographers, about the conflict, which resulted in fierce battles with N. Mikhalkov on the penultimate Congress of the Union
