Soviet film further contextualized by the Cold War. Originally written by Ray Bradbury only 5 years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Imagery implying the death of God at the behest of technology. The most “human” aspects of life are adopted in full by the subservient, automated house. Touches on natures indifference to collective human extinction. Warns the viewer that technology will not protect us. Finally, the white dove perhaps representing the persistence of hope after the annihilation of both humans and technology.
