Abstract: In this paper we analyze the electron states in metallic films. The first part of the paper is devoted to the study of the film where ion-ion interaction changes only in boundary layers. It was concluded that bulk states always appear in such film. Surface states appear only if the variation of the ion-ion interaction in the direction of the symmetry breaking in the boundary layer are neutralized. If the conditions for the creation of surface states are realized, one can obtain dense currents running along the film surface.
