Growing up in the family of the author of the national anthem of the USSR Sergei Mikhalkov, who knew both the goodwill of the authorities and the disfavor of the bosses, who created honest, sincere, time-determined films under totalitarian conditions, he found the courage to go against the system, start his biography from scratch in Hollywood, and managed to shoot there outstanding films that none of his Soviet colleagues had been able to do before him. Konchalovsky rarely talks frankly about his famous family, but in the stages of his growing up, And overcoming fears and taboos in himself, natural for a person in a totalitarian country, And friends, a woman whom he loved, and great artists and movie stars with whom he was brought together by creative fate.
