Contents/Summary

Summary
In this film, two women, a mother and her daughter, demonstrate that poverty in Russia is increasingly a women's phemenon. Luba and Alesaya live in a typical Russian village: the population consists of male drunkards, with few or no exceptions, and exhausted women. Luba and Alesya are milkmaids at a state farm - a profession that is underpaid and perceived as too strenous for most people. But Luba and Alesya, who are raising children and fleeing domestic violence, have little choice. While many in their circumstances would seek help from their government, they have no one to rely on in their small, isolated village except themselves.
