"I don't think that the chairman of the Bedul collective farm, if we had trusted his direct interview, would have told us something particularly interesting. His life had taught him well not to say too much, and if he did, it was without going beyond what was accepted in his circle. And when we were next to him day after day, when he didn't know whether we were filming him or not, he couldn't help but become not the way he would like to present himself for the screen, but the way he was in life."
