Call Me Into the Bright Distance

An audio play based on the eponymous film script. Recording from 1975.
“In a small Russian town, somewhere on the outskirts, in a neat three-room house, a woman lived. Her name sounded beautiful—Agrippina Ignatyevna Veselova, simply—Grusha. She was 34 years old, and she had a son, Vitya, twelve years old, and a brother Nikolay Ignatyevich, the chief accountant of the suburban state farm—and somewhere there was her husband.” This is how Shukshin’s tale about the fate of a Russian woman begins.
