We'll Make It to Monday (1968)

There's a movie I like – Training Day (2001). The film tells about one day (naturally, a training day) of an American police officer. And the title seems to tell us, "Yes, there are jobs where a single day contains as much as someone's entire life." And here, the title carries the same meaning, although it seems to tell about a much more mundane job – that of a Soviet school teacher. And although, looking at the title, I thought we would see the whole week, in reality, it's only about three days – the film starts on Thursday. Although the teacher's life doesn't balance on the edge of death like the police officer's, many events happen during these three days, which are not easy to get through, all in order to then start another week. And the film very well shows these three days, and not even for the whole school, but for the group of teachers (focusing on the main character) and one class. There is a central storyline (in my opinion, it is the central one) and secondary ones, and a bunch of various minor events that also happen in the life of the class and the school. The atmosphere of the school is excellently conveyed, the characters are wonderfully written; you just watch and believe in how real it all is. At first, I was surprised that the film is quite long for a Soviet film – almost 2 hours, but in that time, so much is shown, so many themes are revealed, that you can only applaud how much they managed to pack into such a relatively short period.

I really liked the film; these are the kinds of films that make you want to write about them in this thread.
