The story is set in 1900, in Russia. Two people from different social classes meet... how will the story end?
I found it on Netflix and decided to give it a try. The Russian winter atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. I liked the places and the ice skiing made it easier to watch as it gave some rapidity. I liked the feminism side of the film considering the epoque in which the story is set. I would have liked to see a more clear explanation of the political background because as the viewer gets to see the romance, he can get easily distracted by lots of details. Unfortunately it's a bit too long.
