I Don't Want to Be an Adult (Russian: Не хочу быть взрослым) is a 1982 Soviet children's comedy film directed by Yuri Chulyukin.
[1][2][3] The film follows young Pavlik, whose parents push him to read and study intensively, as he visits his grandmother in a village, receives permission to explore on his own, and decides to venture into Moscow.
[4] A family from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky—father, mother, and their six-year-old son Pavlik—visits Pavlik’s grandmother in a village near Moscow.
The grandmother and other villagers are shocked by Pavlik’s upbringing: he is exceptionally knowledgeable, thanks to his father, and very physically fit, due to his mother’s efforts.
Overhearing a conversation among policemen, he sneaks into their vehicle and arrives at the pool, reuniting with Sveta, who invites him to her birthday party that evening.
