Based on one of Chekhov's loveliest, most wistful stories, this tale of a holiday affair begins as Moscow banker Dmitry Gurov (the wonderful Alexei Batalov) spies a beautiful young woman, Anna, (Iya Sawina), walking her dog in early 1900s Yalta. Each it turns out is caught in a problematic marriage, yet each is reluctant to embark on an adventure that could turn their carefully controlled worlds upside down. After their summer holidays, both return home, but then a chance appears for Dmitry to make a trip to Anna's home town. Was what they experienced a passing fancy-or a chance for more fulfilled lives? Khefitz creates a rich period portrait as well as a brilliant study of passion deferred, making his star-crossed couple complex, vital characters as well as representatives of their particular era.

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
