Time and the Conways (Russian: Время и семья Конвей|Vremya i semya Konvey) is a 1984 drama film directed by Vladimir Basov and based on the eponymous 1937 play by English playwright J. B. Priestley,[1] filmed in 1984.
Action takes place in Britain during the 20 years between the two wars. The film explores the relationship in a once wealthy family, whose members, in their own way, are experiencing the collapse of their plans and hopes.
Almost all the characters in their youth were played by the children of those actors who played these same characters in their old age.[2]
