My favourite film is "Green Elephant". It was written by S. Baskova and there played great actors - Pahomov and Epifantsev. This film is about two friends who were put in the guardhouse and they helped each other. They are two opposite character: Epifantsev is strict, silent and wary, Pahomov is unstoppable, loud and cheerful. They were good friends, though they had some hard times too, they remained friends until Epifantsev's tragical death. This film is about friendship and mutual help of two very close friends or even we can say brothers.
