The story “The Pit” by Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin, on which the film was shot, has always been a special success among readers of all ages. This is one of those works to which, after reading them in his youth, periodically return throughout his life. The story of the inhabitants of a middle-class brothel in one of the provincial centers of Russia captures not only the piquancy of the topic, but also the honest, caring and humane position of the author to the fate of girls, whom circumstances led to the dead end of prostitution.
