Abstract
The article analyzes the interplay of diegetic spaces in the real and imaginary worlds in Alexander Kott's film “Chuck and Geck. A Big Adventure”. The authors consider the changes in the functions of both from the perspective of socio-psychological foundations and folklore traditions that explain the characters' behavior and affect the character-environment dialogue. Special attention is paid to the vocalization of the Mother and the theme of the Family, as the sources of children's behavioral patterns in the screen adaptation of Arkady Gaidar's story.
