Andrey Platonov wrote the movie script "The Ivanov Family" in 1945. The ordeals of previous years have changed a lot: acuity of perception, values, relationships with other people. Platonov showed a family that during the war years found themselves on the verge of collapse. How to gain new strength to live on, avoid destruction, build the future?..

"I am attracted by a special language, the originality of the author, the characters he created are an undeservedly forgotten layer of Platonov's artistic searches in the field of the main topic of Russian literature, the topic of a "little man" capable of great things." Yuri Tsurkanu
