During the Second World War, Nadezhda flew daring combat missions as a pilot. Now, she struggles to adapt to post-war life: dissatisfied as a headteacher, hapless in romance, drifting apart from her daughter, and haunted by a lost love. Can she make peace with a world that is shifting beneath her feet? Larisa Shepitko’s deft exploration of generational conflict and the burdens of the past established her as the Soviet Union’s most celebrated female director.
Introduced by Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw, and Dr. Rachel Morley of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London.
In partnership with Institut Francais and Kino Klassika
