A famous Soviet comedy featuring a truly brilliant constellation of actors—the movie stars Mikhail Kononov, Svetlana Kryuchkova, Yevgeny Leonov, Savely Kramarov, Rolan Bykov, and many others. This funny and touching story about adult school students and their inexperienced teacher won nationwide love and became an «window» for modern viewers into the bright, idealistic youth of the 1970s.
The old-fashioned and arrogant historian Nestor Severov loses out to his more «advanced» fiancée Polina in the postgraduate entrance examinations. Giving in to a sense of doom, he abandons both his dream of an academic career and the woman he loves, taking a job at an evening school attended by working adults and staffed exclusively by women teachers. Young Nestor Petrovich, respected by no one, must deal with the work-related and family problems of his overgrown students. Among them are the beautiful Nelly, who is in love with him, and her embarrassingly caring father; the hooligan Grigory Ganzha, married to a teacher; the negligent truant Gennady Lyapishev; and Vanya Fedoskin, a longtime admirer of the abandoned beauty Polina.
To find out how Nestor Petrovich will cope with his teaching duty, we recommend watching the timeless, heartwarming comedy «Big Break» online.
