Tochka Vozvrata
Пройти «точку возврата» означает, никогда не вернуться туда, где начат путь. Каким бы сложным и долгим он не был — выбор можно сделать лишь единожды. У всех героев фильма есть своя предельно достижимая отметка на жизненном маршруте, пройдя которую, быть прежним невозможно. Похоронив любимых женщин — жену Лену и дочь Танечку, Родин отгораживается от внешнего мира: не подходит к операционному столу, не садится за руль автомобиля. Вернуть профессора затворника в привычную колею, пытается сосед по дому, старинный приятель семьи Родина — детектив Герман.
