Plot
In a small Russian town on the outskirts, in a tidy three-room house, lives a woman named Agrippina Ignatievna Veselova, known simply as Grusha. She is 34 years old, with a twelve-year-old son, Vitka, and a brother, Nikolai Ignatievich, who works as the chief accountant at a local state farm. Her husband had left her three years earlier, saying that family life interfered with his drinking.
Grusha’s brother, wanting to see her married again, introduces her to an old friend who seems to have overcome his struggles with alcohol and now appears to be a steady and reliable man. However, Grusha feels nothing for him—she finds him dull and uninspiring. When the matchmaking fails, she explains simply, “My heart’s just not in it.”[https://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/43211/ Позови меня в даль светлую]
