Contents/Summary

Summary

The film is based on Leo Tolstoi's story. A young aristocrat, disillusioned by life in the capital city, goes to live with the Cossacks in a small settlement on a Chechen border. He falls in life with a young woman, who is engaged to another Cossack. Despite his attempts to win over the woman, she remains with her fiancée, Lukashka. Unable to integrate in the borderland cossack life, the aristocrat leaves the village. A very static and theatrical portrayal of the Cossack life.
