Synopsis
This collection presents nine powerful stories by Russian women, offering a glimpse into lives marked by hardship and societal indifference. One story follows a woman who chooses institutionalization over public scrutiny due to disfigurement, while another exposes the harsh realities of care for the terminally ill in a provincial hospital. These narratives explore the resilience and vulnerability of individuals facing profound challenges.
