Description:
Red Army Commissar Klavdia Vavilova (Nonna Mordyukova) has been ignoring her pregnancy for as long as possible, but as the baby comes to term she is forced to temporarily leave the front lines. She requisitions the house of Yefim Mahazannik (Rolan Bykov) and his family, and, while relations are at first quite hostile, Klavdia gradually becomes a member of the household. The longer she stays with them, the more content she is with domestic life until a bleak vision of the future changes her mind.
After making the film, the director Aleksandr Askoldov lost his job, was expelled from the Communist Party, charged with social parasitism, exiled from Moscow and banned from working on feature films for life. He was told that the single copy of the film had been destroyed. Nonna Mordyukova and Rolan Bykov, major Soviet movie stars, had to plead with the authorities to spare him of even bigger charges. The film was shelved by the KGB for twenty years.
