A Melodrama with Attempted Murder

Directed by Nikolai Maletsky

With Irina Metlitskaya, Albert Filozov, Valerii Lehin, Nina Arkhipova and Tatyana Rudina

Journalist Tamara Malysheva is deeply unhappy in her personal life with her alcoholic husband, Andrey. The editorial office sends Tamara to a small Ukrainian village to investigate the reasons why a soldier who had just come out of the army stabbed his mother-in-law with an axe and the 11 years of strict prison sentence he received for it. There she meets Yuriy, a man who has been "waiting for her all her life" and with whom she falls in love without looking back. Further events develop.
