Plot

edit

The story of the lovers of one another, the count's hairdresser Arkady and the serf actress Lyuba unfolds in an environment that fancifully combines dense wildness with an external gloss, barbarism - with the appearance of enlightenment. Young people manage to escape, but their happiness is not destined to come true.[5]
