Melodrama.
Director: Ilya Averbakh
Zinka Begunkova, in her ninth year of school in a small Central Russian town, is a girl with a complicated life story: fatherless and motherless, living with her brother... At sixteen, Zinka is blindly following the standard principles of “propriety”; having neither compassion nor love of mankind, stubborn and obstinate, she is trying to reshape the very lives of those close to herself along the lines of her own understanding...
