This is a perfect example of a Russian art house movie. Set back in the 50s in a small Russian village it tells a story of a woman whose life was affected by the war and by mundane harvest work.
The way it's filmed is very interesting, because it's so calm and gentle and at the same time quite hard and sad to watch. It manages to transmit "Russianness" in the way it's filmed.
