"It is the very first work of Kaufmann and Kopalin. They are Vertov's apprentices, who was an experimenter and a desperate formalist" - says Andrey Shemyakin. - Kaufmann and Kopalin, being inspired of Moscow style and nature, showing a life of the city, that is still untouched by the grandiose stalinist reconstruction. They are watching the city, trying to catch its atmosphere, like they know, that they are looking at the city, which will no longer exist.
