"In this extraordinary human drama set against the Russian Civil War, a tough Red Army Commander`s military career is disrupted by an unwanted pregnancy. Forced to stay with a poor, jewish family until her child is born, she comes face-to-face with the realities of different cultures, and finds herself transformed by the warmth and compassion of her hosts. Ultimately, she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life: to rejoin her troops at the front, or stay with her child." Director: Alexander Askoldov. Actors: "Nonna Mordukova, Rolan Bykov, Raisa Nedashkovskaya" . Black&White. Country: Russia. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
