this is an film dealing with an 'unfullfilled' love. It is able to give all the message with a minimum of 'action', but every detail tells a part of the story. The actors seem not to play, they are so natural, that you think of it as a 'real story'. This film is for me and many others that have watched it somehow a 'perfect' one: already the story -including all dramatic and scenic details- is enough to make us understand it. Together with the music (an old Russian tango) there are scenes 'that will make you cry', but it tells just a simple story of live.
touching! one of the best films i've ever seen!
