| Description |
It is 1936, the height of Stalin's purges. The Red Army hero General Kotov and his younger wife Maroussia are whiling away the summer with Maroussia's family. It is not an entirely comfortable arrangement. Kotov is pure peasant, school of hard knocks; Maroussia and family are bourgeois to the core and eccentric to boot.
Enter Maroussia's first love, Mitia, a quixotic character whose recent whereabouts and reasons for showing up now are difficult to fathom. Kotov senses danger, and not just on the romantic front.
