Unexpected for those years film, striking with its realism and frankly documentary inserts. Only three professional actors, all the others are real kolkhoz workers.
Telling the story of a pregnant Asi, whose hand is rivaled by two contenders, the film exposes impartial analysis and consideration of the achievements of Soviet society.
Without open aggression, the neighborhood of Soviet ideology and belief in a bright future with icons and old village beliefs is shown. From the conversations of the collective farmers it becomes clear that the work of the propagandists did not bring the desired results.
In fact, the film can hardly be called anti-Soviet, it warmly relates to the idea of collectivism and simple human relations, shows the growth of living standards in the countryside, but at the same time shows how low this level was initially.
Unusual for that time cinema, today is a historical document.
