Her daughter Tanya has married an older man, Igor, who Petrukhina clearly thinks isn't good enough for her, while the teacher is herself courted by a museum director, Pavel Gavrilovich. Centring on the former lady flyer and taking the film at a nice slow pace, we follow her through several days and activities such as going to a museum, catching up with old friends at the airfield, or meeting Igor's more intellectualised friends. Her attempts to compensate for her distraction lie in tendencies of appearing authoritative. But the students and her daughter distrust and despise her because of her innability to be herself. In distress, she is forced even more deeply into reliving her memories of the only time in which she was truly alive, seeking some kind of answer or resolution. 655 4 Fiction films 260 Soviet Union : |bMosfilm, |c1966. 041 rus 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990888FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yVHS 920 01 VYB597X2 966 |cIn the Research Room
