Lyudmila Shcherbinina

Performance at the Maly Theater from the novel by the Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky.

In the focus of the film is the fate of Varvara Basova, whose painfully soulless, philistine-gray existence, devoid of ideals and moral content. Relevant today, the picture sounds like a verdict to all who are mired in vulgarity, who have exchanged life for petty pleasures, profit, empty philosophizing.
