Midsummer. An ancient manor. Fourteen-year-old Misha spends his last 100 days of childhood at a summer camp here. Roll call, flag-raising ceremonies, a naively experienced first love, the smile of the Mona Lisa on a slideshow, participating in labor at a nearby collective farm, and staging Lermontov's "Masquerade" on the camp stage—these comprise the main life of Misha at the "Forest Island" summer camp. While experiencing the beauty of nature and the richness of literature, Misha also endures the frustration of unrequited love and the melancholy of childhood coming to an end. The film is divided into 11 segments, each naturally connected. The film's intrinsic rhythmic pace drives the development of the plot.
Director Sergey Solovyov geniusly weaves painting, literature, and music throughout this film. The theme of saving the soul through beauty and wisdom seems to be his consistent expression, and this film is no exception. The pure and innocent temperament of youth, the sharp pain within, and the nascent self-awareness are all beautifully presented. As the camera depicts the subtle layers of nature, light, and shadow, Solovyov captures the fleeting emotional changes of the characters. It is on this isolated island and vital journey of life that the protagonist's inner strength gradually accumulates.
Whether in "One Hundred Days After Childhood," or in subsequent films like "The Melody of the White Nights," "Asa," "Black Rose—Symbol of Sorrow, Red Rose—Symbol of Love," "The House Under the Starry Sky," almost all of Solovyov's films overflow with bubbling passion and are filled with endless charm.
This film won the Silver Bear at the 1975 Berlin Film Festival and the State Prize of the USSR in 1977.
