It was one of his mentors who once told Kossakovsky, "There are two types of intelligent people; some say what they know, while others think while they speak, in order to try and say something they did not know yet, something that suggests itself in them." Victor Kossakovsky took this profundity to heart and became a filmmaker of the second category. He dedicated his documentary debut to the speaker of these words, the Russian philosopher and religious thinker Alexey Fedorovich Losev (1893-1988), who died shortly after the completion of this film. Shot in black-and-white, the film consists of two crucial shots that symbolize silence and night at both ends of the life chain. In the beginning of the film, the rising sun slowly swathes a cemetery in daylight. At the end, the earth covers a coffin bit by bit and heralds the great darkness. In Losev's words, "Divine intentions that lie beyond our reason, that's why we die."

A young teenage boy zealously tracks down criminals in this allegorical drama. Using the code name of Plumbum, Ruslan Chutko (Anton Androsov) delights in the pursuits of lawbreakers before informing the police, and he even turns in his own father when he catches him poaching fish. The questions are left to the viewer whether or not Plumbum is a crusading hero or a scoundrel.

Falling Star is based on three stories by the contemporary Russian writer Viktor Astafyev and centers on a young soldier on the front lines who is wounded and taken to the hospital. Once there, he muses about his childhood and a little girl he had loved - someone who could easily have grown up to be the nurse that is attending to him now. As he recuperates, he and the nurse fall in love and he very much wants to marry her. At this point, the nurse's mother comes for a visit and advises him against such an action because if they were to marry and he were subsequently killed or maimed in action - the fighting is still close to the hospital - the nurse would suffer much more than if he just left her alone. Now it is up to the soldier to make a decision one way or the other.

2차 대전 중, 러시아의 어느 시골 마을에서 한 여인이 통나무 울타리 위에 앉아 남편이 돌아오길 기다린다. 그때 한 의사가 그녀에게 다가와 "우리는 늘 불신하고 서두르죠. 생각할 시간이 없어요" 라는 말을 남기고 지나간다. 어린 알료사는 아버지가 어머니의 머리를 감겨주는 모습을 보고, 어머니는 거울을 들여다보기 시작한다. 안드레이 타르콥스키 감독의 자전적인 성격이 강하게 나타나 있는 영화로, 이 영화도 그의 다른 영화들처럼 상징과 시적인 언어로 줄거리를 이어간다. 거울은 인간의 삶을 비추는 반영으로 이용되고, 사람들을 그 거울을 보면서 인생을 다시 한 번 생각하게 된다. 삶의 근원적인 문제, 희생과 구원, 고향을 잃어버린 자의 향수 등을 독특한 언어로 그려온 안드레이 타르콥스키. 그의 작품이 새로운 세기에도 여전히 힘을 잃지 않은 것은 그 안에 인간이 들어있기 때문일 것이다. 영화는 제2차 세계대전 과정과 그 이후의 러시아의 역사와 풍경을 묘사하며 각각의 에피소드들은 여러 감정과 느낌을 부유하는 이미지들로 포착했다. 영화 속 화자의 의식 흐름을 받쳐주는 시들은 감독의 아버지 아르세니 타르콥스키의 작품들이고, 감독이 직접 낭송했으며 마지막 장면에 자신의 어머니를 출연시키기도 했다.
