Plot synopsis
A cinematic sonnet cycle of fifteen musical films was devoted to the first Russian feature film “Stenka Razin” (1908). Valerij Bosenko took reels of old Russian and Soviet films, supplementing them with love songs of various epochs performed by Oleg Pogudin. The title of the film indicates its spiritual connection with “Romance sentimentale” (1930), a musical movie directed by Grigori Aleksandrov and Sergei Eisenstein.
