In 1979, American teens were cruisin', listening to Southern rock or disco, and in the summertime, they might volunteer and be a counselor at a summer camp.

Завтрак на траве is one in a long line of Soviet television films that take place in their Pioneer camps. The genre consists of mostly wholesome stuff, and despite the limited pool of possibilities, somehow manages to captivate the viewer with its unguarded innocence and a commitment to the spirit of bonding.

During this era, American teens at camp were slightly different, having replaced campfire sing-alongs with playing naughty games after the tykes are sent to bed. The bad American teens fooled around, which resulted in them being violently slashed in American summer camp cinema. This slaughter of adolescence eventually found its way into nearly all holidays populated by hormonal youth.

There's none of that carnage here under the logical guidance of counselor Ivan Kovalev. Yes, there are songs. Yes, there's romancin'. And yeah, there's joy. Come on along for the ride.

It works as kitsch, so rear-project this behind your acid folk band and you're good to go. And no doubt, there's probably a bunch of ex-Pioneers that will have a nostalgic blast reliving those simpler days. About a decade or so later, these values got traded in for living on the streets and huffing cleaning solutions.

Have a nice day.
