Sweet Woman

Can you love? Which woman can answer that question with a clear “yes”? Yes—all of them.

A film was made based on this story: “Sweet Woman.”
And it was precisely after this film, by director Vladimir Fetин, based on Irina Velemвovskaya’s story, that the expression “Sweet Woman” became a catchphrase, and the twenty-eight-year-old Natalia Gundareva woke up to fame.
