Late Meeting (Russian: Поздняя встреча, romanized: Pozdnyaya vstrecha) is a 1979 romantic drama television film based on the novel Urgently Required Gray human hair by Yuri Nagibin.
However, his trip also has a more personal purpose: years ago, he met a young actress, Natasha Proskurova, who changed his life and whom he has never been able to forget.
They bond as she shows him around the city, and he, in turn, introduces her to his own hidden landmarks, including the spot where his friend, Andrey, lost his life in the war.
As their connection deepens, they share poignant experiences, such as reuniting a lost dog with its elderly owner, who gifts them a print of a ship that Natasha loves.
By 1978, at a reunion in Leningrad, Gushchin learns from Pyotr Basalaev, an artist friend, that Natasha left for Khabarovsk five years earlier, having given up on his return.
