I happened to be watching the International Channel the other night (gotta love it!) and this movie came on. At first I didn't think I'd like it because it was set in the early 1900s and it didn't seem too interesting, but I kept watching for some reason. I'm really glad I did because this movie was great. Here's the I-channel's summary of it:
St Petersburg, 1907. The young and carefree Natalia should be perfectly happy. She has a handsome little boy, a rich husband who allows her to live as she chooses and lovers who desire her. Yet, a chance encounter with a stranger forever alters her peaceful life. Echoing Natalia's secret desire for independence, her husband is murdered that very same night.
I don't want to give too much away, but this movie was beautifully written and I would recommend it to anyone.
