The Waltz on the Petschora
Valsi Pechoraze
A film like a lament, without emphasis, painful and moving, a signal from the East that has not yet submitted to the political and aesthetic will of the West
In 1930s Tbilisi a young woman whose father was an executed "enemy of the people" and whose mother was deported to Siberia leaves her orphanage and returns to what she expects to be an empty apartment, only to find it's been appropriated by a member of the Stalinist secret police.
