Young people pass by an unfamiliar house and see in the window the father and son trying to figure out the relationship. Vladimir overhears the conversation. An adventurous thought comes to mind: to impersonate the son of the master of the house. To such an act, Vladimir goes only to ensure himself and his new friend a night's lodging.

Sarafanov - and that is the name of the owner of the house - easily believes that Vladimir is his illegitimate son. He, in turn, gets acquainted with his new "relatives" and even in a way gets to them with love.

Sarafanov is a musician. He fervently loves his children: Nina, Vasenka, and now a new-found son. Vladimir is struck by the sincerity, kindness of this man. In addition, the "eldest son" grew up without a father, and only now he understands how he lacked parental involvement. It's getting harder and harder to lie to Sarafanov every hour.

The situation is aggravated by Nina, to which Vladimir is not experiencing fraternal feelings. It is worth saying that the girl responds to him in return.

The younger son of Sarafanov - Vasenka - a romantic nature. He has long been in love with Natalia, who lives next door. The boy is not at all embarrassed by the difference in age: a girl older than Vasya for ten years. Silva, meanwhile, does not lose time and decides to tie an easy, non-binding romance with the neighbor Sarafanovs. He succeeds. However, the trouble is that when Vassenka learns of this, he burns the house of Natalia in a fit of jealousy.

Then there is a quarrel between Vladimir and Silva. The latter reveals the whole truth about the newly arrived son. The reaction of Sarafanov amazes everyone present.

Evgeny Leonov

"The Elder Son" is a film, the actors in which the beginners played, with the exception of Eugene Leonov. The role of Sarafanov once again proved the extraordinary talent of this artist. Leonov very much loved his hero. During the filming, he wrote to his son enthusiastic letters, in which he called "the man deprived of the filth of philistinism" hero of the painting "Elder Son."

The film, the actors and the plot of which are given above, became a landmark for the artists who played Sarafanov's children - Vladimir Izotov and Natalia Egorova. How did their future turn out?

Natalia Egorova

The actress was twenty-five years old when she played in the movie "Elder Son". Actors with age sometimes change their roles. This is easy to convince, comparing the image of Sarafanov's daughter in the film based on Vampilov's play with one of the last heroines that Yegorova was able to play. In 2014, she played the role of Anna Markovna in the film based on Kuprin's story "Yama". And in this negative heroine, you can hardly recognize the young romantic Nina from Melnikov's film.

Vladimir Izotov (actor)

"Elder Son" is a film from which the young artist's career began. The role of Vassenka Izotov played as a student. It is difficult to underestimate the talent of this artist, after watching the movie "Big Brother". Actors usually dream of such a successful film debut. But, unfortunately, Vasenki's role became the first and last bright work of the actor in the cinema.

Vladimir Izotov graduated from the institute in 1977. By this time he was already a famous actor. By distribution, Izotov got to the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, where he worked for almost fifteen years. In parallel, he was in the movies. He played in several films, but none of them won so many spectator sympathies as the picture "Elder Son".

During the years of service at the Izotov Theater, about thirty roles were played. Mostly these were young heroes of classical works. In 1991, the artist suddenly left the theater. What caused this decision is unknown. But since the early nineties, the actor has also ceased to act in films. Colleagues on the theater refer to Izotov as a person closed, uncommunicative, vulnerable. But what prompted the actor to leave the art world, and remains a mystery.

Nikolay Karachentsov

The actor began film career in 1968. At the time of filming "Elder Son" in his filmography has already been five works. But it was after the picture of Melnikov that the young actor became famous. On account of Karachentsov about fifty roles. If not for the accident that occurred with him at the beginning of the two thousandth, there would be much more of them. But Busygin's role can be attributed to the best, which are included in the filmography of this outstanding artist.

Mikhail Boyarsky

Crazy popularity for this actor came in 1978, four years after the premiere of "Elder Son". It was then that the screen came out with a film based on the work of Alexandre Dumas. But the role of Silva was the first serious work of Boyarsky.

Until 1975, the actor starred in the movies, but in his filmography were exclusively secondary roles. He played the role of an Italian tenor in Straw Hat, one of the Decembrists in The Star of Enchanting Happiness. After the release of the film "The Elder Son" Boyarsky drew the attention of filmmakers. Since then and to this day he is one of the most popular domestic actors.
