This moving love story is based on an authentic event.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia became passionate about a trial whose proceedings are the subject of the film. A very pretty young girl, from a large Jewish family, runs away from her father's house. She had no other choice, because her father forced her to marry a man she did not love. Later becoming the mistress of a rich old man had allowed her to obtain everything a poor young provincial could dream of. He only needed one thing: true love.
