Film Description

Set on a beautiful summer's day in 1936, this is a moving and poignant story set against the corrupt politics of the Stalinist Era. Colonel Kotov, military hero of the 1917 revolution is relaxing at his dacha surrounded by family and friends. Into this idyll bursts the ruthless Dimitri, a former lover of Maroussia who had disappeared from her life ten years earlier. With songs and stories their new guest charms everyone but Kotov soon begins to suspect more sinister motives for his re-appearance. Set against the growing threat of Stalin’s regime of terror, this magnificently photographed Oscar-winning film is both poignant and full of humanity.
