Returning to a pre-Russian Revolution mode of narrative storytelling, this melodrama focuses on two peasant women – one the victim to an abusive father-in-law and the other emancipated. Actor turned director Olga Preobrazhenskaia takes her time, repeating shots of objects in action, hands at work, and the dizzying movements that comprise the rituals of rural life, before ending on a hopeful note that celebrates the self-sufficient new (Soviet) woman.
