The naked character in this film is a metaphor for the extreme weakness of man in society, in his subversive, ethical, cultural and social relations (Vladimir Kobrin).
In this film, Kobrin's tendency to improvisation is especially clearly manifested. The sudden appearance, during a shooting, of a man with an extraordinary face and an equally extraordinary destiny will change the entire structure of the film. All the more so since the "extraordinary" destiny of Anatoly Vasilyevich was at the same time quite characteristic of Russia.
