Wolves Look into the Forest

“Nikita Zakatov, a captain, is convinced that he brings nothing but misfortune to people. Because of him both his beloved woman and his unloved wife suffer. The only friend he has is exiled because of him to the Irkutsk Governorate, and Nikita constantly transports himself in his thoughts to Siberia… And there, in the taiga, passions run hot for real. In the convict prison, Ustinya is deeply in love with the exiled student Mikhail Iversnev. But Ustinya loves her husband with all her heart: with Efim, she can endure both shackles and hard labor, and Siberian frosts. Yet jealousy and deceit drive a wedge into their love, one by one. Losing his head, Efim decides to leave behind forever not only Ustinya, but also the hated convict prison.”
